>>.... if I may put my 'deputy hat' on for a second, I have a bit of (unsolicited, I know) advice. It's probably better if you wonder if someone has directed a negative comment toward you to leave out any speculation about their negative intent - e.g., "it seems like a diss." Another poster might have reported that part to us through the Notification button as possibly uncivil (they could feel accused of dissing you)<<
-----flutterby: hmmmmm... really? I had no idea that part I wrote could be considered uncivil.... eeks! I get so confused here. *sigh*.... thank you for trying to explain this to me.... not sure I understand, but I'll keep working on it.
>> Please take this in the way I intend - *only* to help in the future, NOT to criticize.<<------ flutterby: Yes, I will, thank you.

>-----flutterby: I think this is key for me.... maybe I lack a bit of sense of humor when it comes to poking fun at others.... I get lost in translation.....
thank you 10derheart, as always, for your kindness and patience. :o)
