I hope you didn't take my comment as me getting snippy with you at all. I love the philosophical questions and fun topics you post here. They are something I look for any time I log in. Thanks for posting about this and for giving me a bit of the low down on that site. I can be a bit mouthy at times...sorry.

not at all , I'm glad I was made aware of that wording. thanks for the compliment
