@11th Commandment -- I apologize for insinuating you were a troll; I looked through your posting history, and was satisfied.
I regret that I will not be able to explain to you why I thought you were a troll, for I consider my personal *sniff tests* proprietary and would rather keep them private from *real* trolls and from lurkers.
Further, I committed the error of not reading your posts to realize, that you and I are largely in agreement: I do not make such errors often, and I regret the friendly fire, as well as any lacerations of your feelings. Please note, however, that I accept both your word and the implicit guarantee of @50mm.
@Din Maker -- I refrain from any further comment to you, good, bad, *or* indifferent, at this time, other than to say:
I do not think I "own the place": but having posted and lurked here for over ten years, I tend to have my finger on the ebb and flow of discussion and of general feeling on the site. If someone wishes to challenge the consensus, I ask only that they do so with logic and reason (though a good turn of phrase or well-developed sense of irony and/or humor is always welcome).
Good evening to all.
You’re way more gracious and courteous than I, grey_whiskers. Perhaps I’ll take your example to heart. FRegards.
