Having "all walks of life" essentially all around, it really makes one careful to truly think before speaking. Sometimes we miss this with everything we have going on, but no one is perfect. The bottomline is, no one can really sastifisfy any indivdual and their preference of how they would liked to be addressed. If one is to be offended or looks for offense they will capitalize on it period. I try much as possible to avoid those situations.
As is embodied in the FidoNet Principle: Be ye not overly annoying... nor *too easily annoyed*. (Emphasis mine). It comes down to "if you accuse people of malice in things they said without any, of course they're going to start a fight with you." Cheers, -- jar -- Jay R.
