Montmorency:

I do apologize. It was never my intent to have a bossy tone.

In particular, it surprises me that my use of formatting and punctuation were interpreted that way. I will curtail my use of both (with one exception below). Thank you for having the fortitude to point out how my posts could be interpreted.

I must also be honest and admit to feeling like I’ve been communicated with in a condescending manner by some [I’m not referring to you, here], and feeling a bit frustrated with the sense that perhaps not everyone was reading particularly attentively. Even though I reminded myself that forums such as these are often staffed by volunteers or others who are quite busy, and that it’s relatively easy both to miscommunicate and to misunderstand, I guess I let those emotions creep into my writing regardless of my desire to suppress them.

Again, apologies to all.

Sincerely,
– forbin
