Whilst I would agree that a certain amount of intrinsic patronisation is prevalent among some of our more established sages, I believe this to be more an expression of mild exasperation in the face of genuinely illogical inanity than a conscious attempt to belittle the inquisitor with unprovoked verbal assassination............What!!!!!!! :D :D :D :wink:

Things do get a little tricky when someone is asking a technical question with half a page of text and no punctuation or capital letters.

So long as its clear what the contributor is saying - who cares if the SPAG isn't 100%.

For some people nothing is ever correct and it doesn't matter what it done - something will always be wrong.

Don't worry about it - just get on with enjoying yourself!

My comments all "tongue in cheek", should be treated as such!

I'm unhappy about you being unhappy, although if I were HAPPY that
you were unhappy, I'd be unhappy that you'd be unhappy by me thinking
you being unhappy made me happy.

Being unhappy about someone being unhap.....Zzzz Zzzz

I'm happy with your punctuation if that helps? You can praise a company, or be happy but you can't criticise a company, or be unhappy. New t&cs! :D
