(I do need to acknowlege that in print, whether it is handwritten or cyberspace, it can be tricky to 'see' how a comment was meant...some folks are just more 'blunt' than others.

I like to be understood in the spirit I post. For this reason, I pepper my posts with italics, underlinings, UPPERCASE, *grins*, smilies ;>), and other things, in an attempt to 'sound' like I would speak....I LIKE to appear real, even in this environment)
