I understand. But yeah, the problem with generalized assumptions about folks' intent is that inaccurate conclusions often arise, that's my only point. Suspect I may be at the far end of the bell-shaped curve, so doubtful many know what I'm about, but just cautioning about the hazards of assuming why Forum Members post what they do, that's all. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
