| better and correct. 1) I don't thinly veil any jabs - if I have any critique of Ash, I'm direct and to the point. Check my post history on this matter and you'll see what I mean as my position on Ash's business practices and my suggestions to help him are well documented. You should also see that I don't engage in hyperbole wrt to Ash-related topics. I do my best to focus on the facts and sidestep emotion-filled/drama-induced replies. That should speak volumes against any thinly-veiled jabs that I may be suspected of doing. While I don't expect you to know every detail of what I've posted over the last 8 years I've been here, I think you know that I'm not one to stir up drama and I would have hoped/expected you'd give me the benefit of the doubt. As with Ash, I'm being direct with you on this. Do not take this as a personal attack or me being critical of your reply. If it would help, I could insert a smiley here --> :-) [that's another joke :-P]. 2) I think it's up to Ash to decide if this was a jab at him or not. And if so, then he's free to call me on it. My response would be along the lines of item #1, so I have no qualms about supporting my position on the joke or on any feedback I've given in the past. 3) I'm not going to take offense at the inference that saying it was a joke was an "out" (see item #1 above) I would have expected the smiley in the post with the link to have conveyed that point. Is it safe to presume you were in so deep with the other responses (as you indicated in the previously deleted response) that this went unnoticed on your part? 4) At this point, I see humor as a way to help everyone blow off steam with regard to this topic. Ash is determined to do things his way whether people on this site agree with his approach or not. So rather than beat a dead horse, I chose to make light of the situation. 5) You'll see that my other replies to Ash in this thread were on-topic of his OP subject. If I had some bone to pick with him, don't you think it would have come to the surface in one of those replies? I hope I've cleared up any misconceptions about my reply. Dave
