Message:: [QUOTE="charley, post: 5413265, member: 5372"]please be assured the last thing i was doing or interested in doing is/was picking on you. i have not minded your commentary when i have posted at all. some may have considered your get acquainted posts as a silent shot across the bow. i didn't.as to picking on you, if you considered my posts as picking on you, then the early 2000s around here would have had you joining a comfort support group. anything i have posted on this board for the last few weeks would not even be considered as posting, it is that mild. internet conversation are always interesting as to intent, because we can't glean and see and hear the physical responses. usually, the result is misunderstanding. i guess in some ways i am considered the new guy, and fresh meat, as russ used to say. i guess. i have been here since 2006 or so, and catch up quite frequently. i just did not post in quite a few years. anyway, i have read your posts with interest over the years. you make a conversation lively, and you do get a kick out of bursting a bubble or 2, and there is nothing wrong with that, as long as it is not mean spirited or condescending on purpose....the alpha male thing. i actually have learned something i did not know because of you, over the years.  i do not have any desire to burst  your bubble. life is more interesting when that is not the purpose of existence. the room thing....pass.[/QUOTE]
