Thank you, Tony.  I appreciate your comments.  I try to be fare but every once
in a while there's a missunderstanding.  It happens.  We all do it from time to
time.  The gentleman in question simply missunderstood, or forgot how quickly
time passes, or just didn't relate 2+2 at that moment in time.  Also, online
communications lacks--in print, only--lacks a whole lot of body language,
movements, etc., that make up 99% of the total communication package.  Thus,
messages online tend to lean to the negative side.  His concerns were real, but
perhaps not annotated thoughtfully.  In person it would come across much
differently.  I, in turn, so most of my e-mail late in the evening after
working all day and teaching all evening--I'm tired.  This comes out in many of
my messages as being pompus and overberring.  I like to think I'm getting
better at e-mailing with a smile but...
 
Thanks again... -Rick-
