For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.Yes the>one, I do my level best to ensure that the words I submit for public display accurately represent the ideas they are meant to convey.
However I must admit that ambiguity must still be present within my phrasing judging by the occasions I offer the "stick of explanation" only for it to be grasped by the "wrong end" and used to flail me.
I am not confrontational by nature but neither am I one to flinch at defending my position. I have attempted to correct a misunderstanding but my apparent lack of success is causing much frustration to all those concerned; and that, probably to the greatest extent, includes me.
january_bug - the above is an admission of my own shortcomings and in no way is any of it meant as a dig at you.
kempie - sorry I didn't respond last night, I was preparing for a job interview, and should be doing so again now! I take your point, and I apologise. I understand that it wasn't a dig. To be honest, I'm actually just to pleased that
- There's someone else who is measured in their words (although I don't think we're the only two)
- There's someone else who isn't purely posting to wind other people up
- That someone (here, the>one) actually gets that! Hurrah! :-)
I must admit, that I, wrongly, assumed your answer to your own question. I felt that you were deliberately implying what you were reading into it, rather than just posing the question openly. Obviously not - ooops!
Finally, there's another user who quotes people's threads back at them as he picks them apart. Whilst I think that person has a lot of intelligent things to say, I find the technique patronising and almost aggressive. I realise that's not what YOU were doing here.... so sorry again!
So again, I'm sorry for getting the wrong end of the stick and going off on one a bit! :-) I'm also sorry that my delayed response led to any frustration. I know I can usually be relied upon to be visiting the site 24/7, but last night was a rare exception! :-p
