Quoting Bruce: ==================== Brian's comments were aimed at the statements being made by Sheetal and while truncated, weren't rude, offensive or personal in my eyes - maybe blunt or abrupt would be a better choice of words. Anyway, his comments were phrased as if he were bluntly speaking to another person face to face and this is often done that way on this list. Well, if I'm in the minority who finds that method of communicating insulting and offensive, I'll just have to build a rule so I can ignore it. Bruce, your comments express your opinion in a manner that is polite, yet tells me that I'm wrong - that's fine, I have no problems with that. Sorry for annoying the list...
