grrr....an apology

Dammit. I've been trolled once again. I have very little tolerance for (what I perceive as) cluelessness backed up by arrogance, and something in my personal makeup just can't let misinformation stand. I try very hard to know the difference between facts and opinions, and I think I do that much better than many people, so I tend to be (and try very hard to be) pretty certain of my facts. That part isn't the problem...feeling the overwhelming urge to "correct" people is. I don't do this out of arrogance. I hate to see people laboring under bad information or false assumptions that may bite them in the future, so I try to help. I've done this stuff, and nothing else, all my life and I've been fortunate to have learned a lot from some very smart people and a whole lot of varied experience. There are people here with both a lot less and a lot more experience than I have; I like to get information from the latter and give information to the former. This backfires when people with too much time on their hands and a desire to push buttons decide they want to rile me up. I don't have time for this. I'm a busy guy, and this is a distraction that just ends up with me in a bad mood and falling behind on my work. So...Once again, I Have Been Trolled, and I apologize. I promise to try to be better about it in the future, for my own sake as well as the sake of others. -Dave -- Dave McGuire New Kensington, PA
