We have always been civil to one another. We have even managed to have a good time together, or so I assumed, discussing other topics !

You assume correctly. :)

If I have read something , other than your intent, into your last post, then I apologise. I am not GOD, either, and never have imagined that you, nor I was.

I think we may both have misread some signals here. An occupational hazard, alas, among we mere humans. But perhaps it says something for each of the two of us that we are at least able to acknowledge it. You have seen as much of what happens around here when people cannot so acknowledge as I have seen, I suspect. And when it does happen, it turns what begins as mad fun into just plain madness.

Perfection, is quite out of our realm.

There is something to be said for that, actually. Except for passing it along to the next person and bringing him (or her) up there to join me, I don't think I know what else I would do if, by some unforeseen stroke of divine intervention, I should ever attain perfection in anything I do. I only wish I had been wise enough to think that way some twenty years ago.

I'm a perfectionist, I fear. LOL

Perfection CAN be accomplished, in doing many things ; however, not in one's self.

I am glad, REALLY glad, that we have managed to put the nastiness and vituperations and misunderstandings to bed. Now, we can, once again, ebjoy each other's company and discourse; as we always have done, previously. :-)
