Dear Honest Annie:I'm sorry you got pounced on the 1st time you tried to post. Mudcat IS a friendly place, it truly is. Just remember, whatever you say, you can rest assured someone will take offense. Tell someone it's a beautiful day, and they'll start a tirade about how we need rain to cure the doubt.
Please come back often, listen, reply, & post. I'm posting this publicly instead of in a PM (Personal Message) because I think everyone should hear it.
Again, welcome to Mudcat!
