You are, as always, correct.
There were some things said I found distasteful in how they were put. Could have been a bad choice of words. Could have been a failure of comprehension on my part (much more likely!).
I have freepmailed Elsie and asked if he minds if we move the discussion to mails, rather than in a thread. (unsure about the time zone difference, so at least we can talk and know the other will see and respond.)
I said, no, as the accusation was made here in the open forum.
If you want me to repent; you'd best Display my sins.
