Thanks to my friends on this forum for coming to my defense.
I must admit it took me a while to figure out what the beef is that 22111 has with me. But I finally realized he or she is upset, apparently, that somewhere on the World Wide Web someone actually agreed with him (or her), that I read that post and then committed the sin of failing to notify this forum. Wow.
This view makes some audacious presumptions:
1. That I actually read 22111’s posts carefully enough to commit them to memory. I don’t.
2. That when I’m elsewhere on the web that I would recall anything 22111 has written. I don’t.
3. That I would spend any time analyzing other forums for comparisons with 22111’s writings. I don’t.
4. That even if 1, 2 and 3 were true, that’d I’d feel an obligation to point comparable viewpoints with 22111 to this group. I wouldn’t.
It may excite 22111 that someone, somewhere shares her or his opinion. But I could not care any less. Just for future reference.

I’m not a fan of 22111’s acerbic/super-critical writing style. But in this case, to be absolutely fair, I do think s/he was trying to make a joke.
It’s not a very good one, unfortunately, but I don’t think it was intended to sound as negative as many readers have clearly felt it is.
However, I think it does highlight the value of the brief, concise post (okay, I know I’m not always brief or concise, but hey!).
Best wishes to all,
Bill

But you have no history of attacking or ridiculing members of this forum. :-)

22111, writing under various pseudonyms, has left a trail of chaos behind him on several forums that I’m familiar with. His mode of operation is always the same: make sarcastic, incoherent, unprovoked attacks upon other participants, then withdraw while the rest of us express annoyance or astonishment, and eventually after a few weeks of silence return with more of the same.
