Message: [QUOTE="Bob Godfrey, post: 229152, member: 136612"] >>For an example of this, see Bob's comment in this thread regarding the "vote of confidence". He was at a loss to understand what I meant and more or less inquired as to what I was referring. I replied politely in kind.<< Mark, I want to make it quite clear that I did NOT intend to offer you a 'vote of confidence' in response to a critical remark you made following a brief (and hopefully amusing) exchange between myself and another member. Nor did I intend, as you have suggested, to offer you or anyone else encouragement to post without regard for the potential to cause offence or annoyance. But neither would I discourage other posters, by suggesting for instance that they "take their off-topic spiel to private email". It's not for us to determine what should or should not be posted by others, Mark. That's why we have moderators. . [/QUOTE]
