As is your advise. As I stated, one of the draw backs of a forum system like this is that it is often difficult to interpret exactly what someone means. Not like talking in person or on the phone. You can not hear inflections and subtleties of language that will help you determine sincerity, anger, jest, etc...

I appreciate your efforts to keep us as clear as possible. I just wanted you to know that there are absolutely no hard feelings.

Thank you for the encouraging words. I have respect for you and your contribution to the forum.
I apologize if I came across as disrespectful, that was not my intent. I think it was just a misunderstanding on my part. I understand that your intentions were to help not hurt.
Your advice is greatly appreciated.

Hey Dude,
I appreciate your input on the whole of the forum and your contribution to the sport. Keep it up.

I will never attack you or anyone on the forum, in fact, I will do all I can to have your back. I do tend to talk in general terms out in the forum, so that I don't single any one person out. Some time I am just not clear enough. I, we, are a work in progress. I would much rather help than hurt. Any way, thanks for your input.
