Oh no !
I know there was no offense intended and I assure you non was taken.
Sorry for a bit of overreaction on my part , but as I have said somewhere on this forum we communicate only in writing and thus , some of the intended humor (which may be obvious when spoken face to face) does not get through that easily, especially as we come from all kinds of different backgrounds, cultures and speak many native languages.
I keep catching myself in having to re-phrase my posts several times to make sure readers have a reasonable chance of understanding what I am really saying. I have found that using emoticons is really helpful. I know this is like commenting one's own statements with comment like
: (meaning "read this as a joke").
For this reason I stricttly stay off politics, ethnics or racial issues and religious matters.
Believe this is a good rule for a successful forum which it is.
If we keep this friendly, respectful and keep away from those subjects it is smooth sailing for the future. After all there is enough of this crap in all other media surrounding us. Without playing the political correctness" game we can all enjoy taking of our fiats , argue about them, agree and disagree and have great friends around the world and lots of fun visiting the forum and actively supporting it.
Thank you for your reply
