Les, I'll make sure to include your area if I ever cross the pond.

I do know what it is like to work hard for a greater good and find that one is being attacked rather than assisted. It's not the thanks that are wanted-- just like-minded participation, right? And that only comes once in awhile, unfortunately, while complaints tend to be rather more frequent. I've had my turn misunderstanding, too, when no one has meant any harm..... so I'm really glad you spoke up about feeling slammed, so we (who are posting in this thread) could clear it up. I hope it didn't get in too deep before the reassurances kicked in-- hard to hit the "undo" button once the barb's set.

Best of luck with an Autism benefit-- wish I was there to pitch in.
