Whoa
Cool it

asking for clarification in a forum isn't exactly unheard of . I don't feel that your tone was appropriate.
example
"You take things too literally, and you quote too much, and you research too much, and you just plain FUSS too much. You need to stop reacting like we're all addressing YOU personally. (and please - NO more about your precious Steinway "B" !!!)"
It was laced with sarcasm and I didn't feel that you substantiated any of the claims that you made about Scott. You want the bickering to stop? Then why don't you lead the way - you're the respected elder of this forum and I expect all little a bit more from you. You want to talk about someone taking things to literally, being fussy take a look in mirror. You obviously put some serious thought into the post. hmmmm that's kind of fussy don't you think?Talk about calming down - please. You're the one trying to make this forum competitive.
I've been reading post on this forum since it began and I've learned allot from many people and I hope that it can continue to be a positive experience for everyone.
I think that you may have second thoughts about your post and that's why you've started the Olive Branch Thread. Nice gesture
Let's all use this forum for the real reason it was created - Thanks!
