Colibri - You may think you sit on the right hand of the father, but he’d never be so arrogant as to make such a statement - …“you don’t seem to understand…” this or that. He also would also not take my comment as personally as you obviously did. Carry on. But lighten up.

I would suggest that making remarks about “pissing contests” as well comments like “Mods - stay tuned” are not appropriate if you are seriously interested in lightening the tone of the thread.

I believe that should read: “As far as my ignoring your references…” 🙂
