That is cute. I'm gonna misspell his user name on purpose to show how little regard I have for his opinion. You may have commented on his thread but the question was openly addressed on a public forum. Why would you be surprised someone else would comment on your question?

If it was meant for him alone... perhaps the PM system would have been a better option.

My tone was absolutely civil.

As was mine.

Longevity of the forum has absolutely nothing to do with whether or not I should have posted my query.

Longevity wasn't the only measure I gave. Conversation (108k posts to your 34) and tone (I don't mean tone in which you speak with others... I mean as in the mentality of the forum and ambiance). Also, I'm not telling you you shouldn't have asked... I answered your question.

And yes, I accept and realize due to my short tenure here that I am not a CP Icon.

Your tenure isn't long... your involvement has been nil. It isn't a judgement as much as it is a statement of fact.

However, after 1007 posts I don't believe that you are qualified to make that judgement on me.

I'm unsure if you realize that people can lurk a forum without having to register and post. If just post count is the measure we are going by, it seems as if I may have ground to speak up on this than you.

I will leave that up to MR. Rain Man himself. what say you Rain Man?

If you are meaning to speak to one poster and one poster alone, again, may I suggest the PM system.
