Diki, kicking you in the teeth is not exactly how i'd describe what i said, and ingratitude in the face of advice wasn't my intention either. i apologize if it came out that way, because if you recall, i have always been one of your staunchest defenders (as well as critics)and i have always profusely thanked you publicly for your help. having problems with lack of brevity is not the whole of it--a lot of the time it comes out as badgering, and the sometimes overly repetive and detailed manner of it can be construed as insulting the intelligence of the reader. i can tend to be long-winded myself at times, even though i have always had the gift of being concise as well. i suggest you take a tip from me now, this is what i try to do when i sometimes get into the knee-jerk reaction to spill out a ton: after you let your fingers type out all the things you want to get off your chest in your replies, do that--it's good for the psyche--but DON'T send it right away. wait a few minutes at least, look back through it. Every time i do this I wind up cutting my replies down severely or completely rewriting it in more concise form from a different perspective, or sometimes not sending any reply at all. As far as my replies being run-on in design, i apologize to all for that. I have a mac, when i use Safari as in the past, often my stuff comes came out with long and short lines whenever i went back in to redo sentences, it looked so sloppy. So i started using Firefox, which seemingly, no matter how much i try to indent, space, and create paragraphs, just won't cooperate and everything comes out as one: hard to read but at least it looks neater than with Safari. If you or anyone else has suggestions how i can get it done better, i'm all ears. Peace, bro
