Largely, we're dealing with our own associations as we assign motivation (and even meaning) to someone who posts here. Although we may pick something up from someone's word usage and patterns of response. Indeed, a bit of humility is called for, and a spirit of play seems more helpful than a spirit of vindictiveness or harshness. -- Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
