I apologized for my first post and (it is in somewhat poor taste to discuss private communication but) thecorndogwalker privately acknowledged my post where I admitted what I had said with inappropriate grace (though perhaps it was sarcastic and in my obtuseness I'm missing it).
I don't really buy the idea that ideas from new members should be coddled. What I said would have been equally inappropriate if it had been in reply to some post by Steve or Lisa or Nephytys (it suddenly occurs to me I have no idea what her real name is).
I started this thread off on the wrong foot. That was classless of me and I do regret it and meant it when I apologized (hopefully if there is one thing clear about it me, it is that if I don't feel an apology is appropriate and meant I won't offer it).
