Waiting,
It's interesting that you use Hilliary_Step as an example. He came in here with articulate language, not too terrible humble, and held his own with his own style. Of course, that's still the way he posts - and almost all persons, imho, appreciate him and his information.
Last time I was humble there was a terrible earthquake in Albania, the time before that, one in Japan.
Can you people not appreciate that being a 'Troll' is actually my way of protecting the planet from natural disasters. Imagine the mess I might make if I suddenly became 'Mr Nice Guy', the planet would shudder under the impact.
Seriously Ms. Waiting, you showed kindness to strangers when I first arrived here which has never been forgotten. Larc, Alan, Tina and others sent me private correspondence which encouraged me to return.
My initial departure from the Board had nothing to do with my treatment, but was all about the long term value of these discussion Boards. I still feel that they take more than they give, but people like you make the gamble more lucid.
Best regards - HS
