I guess this just shows how things can get out of hand on forums. Hopefully we can all get back to our normal more considerate selves and get information passed around that will help those who need it and not make it such a chore for those who provide it. There are many here that are able and willing to pass on experience or ideas that are useful. I'm still learning after 60 years past high school. Some slack is helpful just because of the nature of the internet.

"The standard dictionary definition of curmudgeon is a "churlish, cantankerous old fellow" Whatever its etymology, curmudgeon has come to denote a not unlikeable grouch, an astute unsentimental commentator on the human condition. Curmudgeons are mockers and debunkers whose bitterness is a symptom rather than a disease. They cannot stomach pretentiousness or maudlinism. they cannot abide bores, dissemblers, montebanks or politicians (but I repeat myself) They snarl at pretense and bite at hypocrisy out of a healthy sense of outrage. They point out unpleasant facts engagingly and humorously. They comfort with satire."
Jon Winokur, "The Portable Curmudgeon"

In a nation overly engaged with the risk of giving offense and political correctness, I consider it an honor to be called a curmudgeon.

Ah, ah come on. You live in a cold region that preserves! (though hot temper can reduce life a bit)............
