First of all, if the shoe fits...secondly, try to not be thin-skinned. Thin-skinned posters are the disrupters on open threads, or so we are told.
Lots of times, the replies are directed to the comment made, not a particular poster. I do that lots of times, without always noticing to whom my reply is directed. :D
It was cowardly when posted. It was equally cowardly when it was sent into the ether. And, I told that to the poster.
