If it makes anybody feel better to know this, it was not the sort of post I would ever have written if I wasn't going through some stress about other things unrelated to the forum.

I wasn't particularly offended. I've only been posting for a few months now and hadn't noticed.

I only hope I'm not part of the problem. I don't want to be thought of as just another Internet junkie with the attention span of sandpaper.
