Alan,

I honestly wouldn't sweat it as the replies, at least to me [on several reads], did not seem harsh - just informative. Assuming they did have an outraged tone I've found the best approach (though not necessarily the easiest) is to treat it like customer service - find the kernel of goodness [the message/lesson] and ignore the delivery mechanism [most of the text around the former.]

In the end, we are all learning, but we can't all be perfect teachers :) [being guilty on both sides of the aisle myself]

Cheers,
Brian

Alright! So I was wrong! But you guys have no need to blow up about
it. Simply correct me, state that my info wasn't 100% accurate, and
move on.

When I get such outraged and upset replies to my posts I feel less and
less like doing anymore posting.

Peace, Alan
