FF, I get where you are coming from and sometimes people do need a straghtforward wake-up call and not always be molly coddled. Point taken and to maintain the civility of these boards you should consider an apology. It's not appropriate to just say "no offense but..." and then let loose with anything you want to, offense was taken and if not intentinal, then an apology should be in order.
And would expect a thank you after that from WL for being given a frank an honest opinion and which can help more than always being reaffirmed. RJ
