Well, first of all, I unreservedly apologise for having caused offence. It was not my intention. Being relatively new to AB, I�ve tried to share honest answers and equally tried to steer clear of threads that are very clearly drifting completely off of the subject matter. As I stated in my one posting, I had left your posed question overnight. I was too tired to make any semblance of an intelligent contribution. But from that time when I went to sleep, to the time I awoke, the thread moved into what I�d describe as �silly mode.� Hence, in keeping with the aforementioned comment, I simply would not have contributed, except for the fact, I wrote the answer, never once imagining there had been literally dozens of more posts since that time. You yourself are aware there are posts in here, regardless of where they are posted that tend to begin relatively innocent, then take on a rather unfortunate patina�(what immediately comes to mind is the diatribe over the poor large woman with �nose hairs.�) In the same light, I would not have wished to contribute further.
Again, acknowledging that I am new to this site, I recognise and respect that each of us is entitled to our individuality AND opinions. It comes down to a simple equation: how I see it, how you see it, and the way it really is. And that equation applies to everything we do in our lives. Again, the apology is offered.
