Ed,

1. But that doesn't justify doing the same, regardless.

2. I'm glad but then you're asserting intent that is pretty nasty. In this case then to attempt a "fix" is pretty much a waste of time. *g*

3. Glad to hear it, though I'm full of emotions. I just try not to let them sway my thinking, not that you are... *s*

4. No, I have none towards you nor anyone else. I value my internal state of mind more than that. Still, my essential point remains I'd think. That is that NO MATTER HOW others act I should still CHOOSE the proper response.

John, like you or I, has to deal with the issues that arise from being an imperfect human being. Let's choose to treat each other with the highest level of professionalism that we are able, no matter how others so choose.

You will be better for it as would I, or anyone else.

You are not responsible for anyone else's attitude nor am I but we are responsible for our own.

Best regards,

DD

PS - I'd say the same to John or anyone else BTW.... I'm not singling you out, you just posted a convenient message to start from.
