Let me ask a question then. When you said, "Judge not lest you be judged" in your message to Steve what were you getting at? It looked like, in that context, that you were having a nice side chat, referring to my prior assertion and I just thought that if you had something to say about me to someone else I had a right to clarify. If you mis-posted that message and intended it for me, well, that's a different issue IMO. Did you intend it for him or me?

I think the answer to this issue is there and I think you might be able to clarify

You know I have no desire to gratuitously take a swipe at anyone and if I've given that impresion I certainly apologize.

Nope.. Not angry whatsoever.

Sorry. What I meant was the Chatter Forum...
