Eric, I would never talk down to you.
I respect other forum members for their input to threads....I respect them for their differing views, which are usually interesting and borne of life experience......but every now and then someone comes along and wants to monopolise, to imply that their ideas, beliefs are the right ones, the only ones. Then things can get personal and sometimes even a bit nasty.

And before you tell me that you were not meaning that I had talked down to you(well, at least that is what I hope).......I know!
