I thought people would respond "I know what you mean" or "something similar happened to me." I really didn't expect to be lectured or chastised. I guess I really am a doddering old fool.

And yes, I did say thank you. I wasn't brought up in a barn.

With all due respect, I think you're making way more out of this than what I intended.

Well you fooled me. I must be 14 years old & wet behind the ears. It came off as a rant, not as you being amused. Bernardo de La Paz Apr 2025 #4
