A month ago, actually.

Yup. I misread the date. Sorry.

Or, as was the case here, a simple honest attenpt to add to the conversation.

Perhaps. Perhaps not. Given the medium of this conversation, it is virtually impossible to determine the attitude in which something is posted, without actual cues. There is no non-verbal communication going on. There are no tones of voice to take into account.

I am a strong Christian. As I said before I did not take your comments as antagonistic. However, since some people have, I merely made the suggestion that you watch how you post. Seniority (and posting history) does go a long way here as to who gets the benefit of the doubt.

No biggee.

I've never bought into the "seniority" argument, myself.  I think a post should stand on its own, regardless of whether or not the poster is a "noob" to the particular board in question.  I do recognize that many (most?) on boards such as this disagree...especially when they have a lot of seniority themselves... ;-)
