BTW... it doesn't have to be anything about what you say or said, Phil... Only important question is... whether it is useful or Not! It's not. In order for it to be useful, you would first have to understand what's being said. This requires listening, which seems to be a rare commodity these days.

Am I bothering you? Am I not listening or understanding something that you want me to listen to or understand? .... Is there anything that you are unable to 'listen' to or 'understand'? Do you want to 'listen' and understand? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
