> it is repeatedly insisted that one has tried or offered very unwanted help, constructive criticism, and interest/investment in knowing the background of another. When in fact one is demonstrably not doing so. Under those circumstances, it is not unlikely and not an insult to hypothesize...

It may not be, but it's important for people to be careful, if they post such hypotheses, that others don't accused or put down.

> the irony of the fact that on this, one of my last threads as I determined whether to head for the door, all I had done was give someone a compliment. And this is how it ended up.

The compliment was fine, what was problematic was how the thread evolved from there...

Thanks for the ride (it would probably have been better not to allude to how I didn't need or want one). Thing is, it's not like light was shed on something over here.

This is what was just retired, not an answer to anything asked, wondered about or needed. But as far as what you say here, ironic that once again the actual pool of such things was let go.

If you wanted to respond, why not make it to something I actually mentioned. Like why this was a PBC, instead of, if anything at all, just a Please Rephrase. It does make a difference, based on the classic uneven referencing and application of such things, often without warning, at any point whatsoever down the road.

Thanks for sharing but you obviously have me mixed up with someone else.

This is the end of the thread.
