One thing I've learned in the few years of running this forum is that it is very difficult to accurately display one's true feelings, especially if those feelings are a bit complex. (Emoticons are often used to add complexity to the typed word.) So I think it's a good idea to try to assume the best of people if there's any doubt.
With this in mind, I'm not taking offense at any of BD04's comments. Actually, you have to have a pretty thick skin if you spend any time on the Internet.
Happily, the vast majority of the people here are helpful, hard-working, and generous, and compared to other on-line media, there are few flame wars here. Thank goodness!
