Well... when someone winds up with an “insomniac or glutton for punishment” reference, I guess I could find it an indication of disdain. If you didn’t mean it that way, fine.

I didn’t ask you to ignore me either. Did I...

I said that if it bothered you that others didn’t understand the topic as well as you did, perhaps you should not pipe up to express your knowledge on the subject.

I didn’t ask you not to pipe up.

I do appreciate the information.

Well, FWIW, I find most of the US Code and Code of Federal Regulations to be dense, obtuse, and generally sleep inducing, and if I don;t have a reaon to refer to them, I don;t refer to them. I consider myself a glutton for punishment when I read them, and the "insomniac" reference is, I believe, and obvious joke.

I know that you didn't ask me to ignore you. You just suggested that if it bothered me so much, I should refrain from contributing.

Although your advice is given I am sure with good intentions, and while you appreciate the help, I don't appreciate being maligned for giving it. I'm out of here. No good deed goes unpunished, and I've had my fill of good deed doing on this board.
