If you go back and read the posts, then tell me who made the first shove
(so
to speak). I've been around here for a number of years and Larry
certainly
should know me by now. His statement was a "put-down" and it ****ed me
off.

After I read your original message, I went back one level and read what it
was you were responding to. In that context, your message was
understandable. By itself though, it did leave you open to comment. So there
were a few snide comments. So what? If you'd not replied as you did to those
snide comments, then the whole matter would be long and forgotten by now.
Let it go or you're going to end up looking like that idiot pe
and it will plague you for some time. Apparently, misguided jimmy likes the
attention, whereas you don't appear to.

Consider this a Dear Abby suggestion or however you want, but that doesn't
mean that it's not true.
