Semisane--I don't post much, I am long in years but short on experience and use the site to learn, mostly about inlines and traditional percussion use. I do agree that the site would be more enjoyable if all posted in a "friendly" manner, not in a "I gotcha!!" mode. I think that sometimes this is not intentional, just poor editing. If we review our posts, sometimes we see that we were a little caustic when we did not intend to be. But sometimes I have seen intentional belittlement of someone, this should not be. Finally, I would like to commend you on your excellent grasp of the English language. You made a great post, clear and well worded, at least to me.
