You stated one thing and then - when called on it - said something else and then - when called on that - call it nit picking.

** That may not be 100% correct, but I'm sure you'll get the "Duffer's Drift" of what I meant.

Yes, my Brother.

However, (still in my very crabby mode) I am very tired of 'whomever' challenging, clarifying, adding-on, contradicting QPs on a QP board.

Richard may be a lot of things. Call him a 'nit-picker' - unless your a Brother QP, and even then, not in public - and you're on 'the fighting side' of me.

Ha Ha, excellent Richard. Where did you get that translation from? I doubt whether Google would do it so well.

Its OK, you can mention names. I will cease commenting on this board. In my opinion, which I am sure many of you will take issue with, some of the QPs take themselves a little too seriously. Maybe you need to get over yourselves a little.

Or you might have wanted to simply do more research once you realized these men will delve into a topic thoroughly. Now you simply sound like the small pup that got chased off the porch, but just has to give one last yip.
