Actually, I meant to address you both with the previous post of mine. Since I am backtracking, I also would like to say that both of you have calmed down, and are trying to be civil and re-establish communication. I am acknowledging you both for this, since it is the kind of posting that needs to be encouraged.
John, your comment that Mr S 'hit a nerve' is a wonderful technique to more fully communicate, and, in my experience, enables the other poster to relax a defensive posture and accept the points of the issue.
Ya never know. You may find out that you two are more alike and in agreement on many issues.
You may retract your coniliatory words after you scroll down to my subsequent posts, but thanks. Have you ever considered hostage negotiation?
