Robin,
You have much more grace and patience than I do.

Well..... I kind of doubt that.

And there are a couple of reasons I say that.

A long, l-o-n-g time ago I learned that if you really want to know how well you "know" something, just try to teach it to someone else. So (sometimes) when I write a reply to a "newbie's" question, I try to answer it by both "pretending" to explain the answer to myself as though I didn't know a thing about it, and also how I would like it explained to me so that I would be better able to understand it (if that makes any sense).

I don't know how to type. Which means it takes me a very long time to post a thread or a reply (like this one). But it also gives me a little extra time to "cool down" if I'm responding to something that ticked me off, and/or to semi-edit what I've wrote so that it might (hopefully) make better sense to others (and ME, too!).


So as far as having more "grace" and "patience" than somebody else, I kind of doubt that. It's just that it takes me a whole lot longer to answer. Which, in turn, has the tendency to "round off" the rough edges a little bit!


Or something to that effect !!!
