I am sorry that I did not leave the signature on the Voltaire quote - that
was not mine - - the quip is mine, however, and I am not - repeat - NOT -
gloating. I do not gloat over anyone's misfortune - I've been low man
on the totem pole too many times myself .....

Don is abrasive - can you admit that too ? but I have a delete key
and I used it when he got too much for me. My posts have also been
less than well-thought-out when my button was pushed and I saw red
and I just couldn't count to 1-2-3 the hellwith10FIRE !! and I have had
a warning, too. I'm trying to contain my temper but I'm keeping my
delete key oiled ..... ;- ) .....

Don also has a lot to share - even Dan says that.

But somebody has to pick up the pieces after shots are fired, and
since Dan has to do the housekeeping, Dan can call them as he sees
them. Since I have been warned once, I would say Don was warned
and probably not once but several times. (I deleted more than one
of Don's posts to threads) But if I can't keep my temper and "play
nice", I expect to be turned off like Don was. That's life.
