Hi Sandy, No offense meant. I write processes for behavior teaching to many on a daily basis. I write to a discussion board where there are those from no experience to advanced experts. My writing style has developed in such a way so that it might help the broad range of experience of the persons who may be reading the post. In writing it this way I hope to make it of interest to the many and hopefully helpful in some way to a wide range of people and experiences. I was not intentionally writing as if you were a newbie, but trying to thorough in description and thoughts. I have communicated to you in the past on numerous occasions on lists and off that I admire you, your teaching, your helpfulness, compassion and way you share your experience. That has not changed. If my attempt at being thorough seemed demeaning or offensive to you in any way... I assure you that was not my intent. And for any discomfort it caused you, even unintentionally I am sorry. I hope that those that may not have the same level of experience might have found something useful in the post I had written... as it was only meant to be helpful and with the spirit of sharing.
