[Fledermaus]

Fleder, let's assume something right from the bat--you don't know my circumstances so it would be best to dispense with the free advice.

And you should follow your own advice since you don't know mine. And it was you that first brought up your "circumstances" as an arguement for your position against mine. Thus my advice was valid based on your statements.

I wish you and your parents well and if I can be of any help, please let me know.

And whether you intended or not, your sentence using "Fleder" and "bat" was very clever.

Fled,

I brought up my economic circumstances to counterweight yours, friend. You brought up being raised poor in Arkansas or something as a boost to credibility.

Don't pander out the "let me know if I can help" stuff--I don't need help, and I don't want help. As I made it clear in the last letter, my economic status means nothing relevant to where this thread now is---I merely objected to your callousness.

You began the whole thing--when I replied you decided to offer a critique that delved into life-decisions for me. A simple apology would have been nice.
