Excellent- I'm pleased that I got that wrong
That remark by Peter Ceresole seems personally hostile. Why is he pleased that he misread a posting by another TarBoarder? This happens, of course, from time to time, but in my experience a brief polite apology is customarily given. I was merely querying the boundaries of what is considered 'AR territory' on TarBoard - a valid topic surely? Guidelines would be helpful to me, because I am one of those people who do not instinctively sense the limits of topic, humour etc, and therefore make blunders. Others seem to be totally in command and seem to be able to sense these limits. I envy them.
