Also not entirely sure what to make of the comment "your writing style is so much like hers"

Well Elspeth what I meant by "your writing style is very much like hers", is that I feel your writing style is very much like hers.

Not especially in this thread. And I wouldn't know about any ill-feeling in this thread, I've only just started contributing to it.

I look forward to your contributions on other threads.
