  Were that the truth, rather than descending into third grad ad hominum, you would merely have said something to the effect, "and for the record, I'm not Rick Burten" , | Quote: | | I'm sure now, we'll have a nice big pie fight with two different (pro/anti Rick) factions. |
LOL! I wonder which camp you're in?
| Quote: | | I was just annoyed at people thinking I was him. |
Imagine how I felt? (hint: embarrassed would be a major understatement)
| Quote: | | I'm nowhere NEAR that rude and tactless. |
Congratulations! Not only have you proved the opposite, but you have masterfully done so through the succinct use of a logical fallacy. |

I never thought I'd find myself siding with Rick B., but I do about spurrit. Our behavior defines us as human beings. It, rather than the words we use to tell people we are, tells people who we are. Hiding behind a forum identity while making snarky comments and not telling people your name say a whole lot about you as a person.

Hey Rick, I cringed when I saw what Spurrit wrote! It was not my intention to infer that Spurrit was you. (the construction of the posts was totally different anyway)
But really I’m glad to see you back. Even if you are brashly & abruptly direct & to the point & a pain to read at times,  we all learn something from every post which eventually builds into a complete picture. Learning from many people allows us to develop the tools to solve our specific problems & circumstances.
That’s what forums are all about. Also I know how frustrating it is to be totally pedantic about something.

I never thought you did.

Truth is, I've never really been gone. It just seems to be too much effort to reply and then [often] wait days for my post to be approved so I chose to just read and remain silent. Recent events changed that for now.

Thanks for recognizing a few of my more endearing qualities.

I have, before and elsewhere, been called pedantic and though I try hard not to be, I make no apologies for my hard won knowledge and how I use it. I also know that "the devil is in the details" and as is evident[at least to me] with topics under discussion in which I opt to participate, those details are, most often, sorely lacking/overlooked and the information that is provided is [to me] often inaccurate, incorrect, foolish, stup-id, and/or downright dangerous.
IMNTBCHO, the one tool that has the greatest potential to help the horse but instead has done the most to harm the horse is, the internet. YMMV |

Sorry about the time thing Rick. To be honest, I rarely read this forum and so frequently don't see your posts until you or someone else tells me there is one here. Sometimes I am gone for a few days and don't check the forum at all. So, sometimes it is just a bad time. My apologies...

No apologies necessary, Carol.
