That makes sense, I had forgotten where this thread had started.

Actually, I had no individuals in mind when I wrote this, but should anyone
feel I singled them out in these generalities, I apologize. If there was a
"personal" attack it was on the "person" of the list, if one should consider
that a person. The only reason the reply was to your post, and my apologies
for not changing the topic as I should have, was because it was the last one
before I decided to post. If that contributed to the belief there was a
personal attack in my complaining, again, I apologize. Though I guess, when
one complains, there is to some degree an attack involved. What makes an
attack personal, when I use that term, is calling names and pointedly trying
to designate someone as more or less of something, depending of course on
whether that something is a positive or a negative trait. But, alas, my
comments were on the list, and perhaps I was attacking the list as being
somewhat of a disappointment recently. Anyway, nuff said I imagine.
