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-
