Hi Guido, I agree that the boys and girls have been very well behaved here for quite a while. Part of that might be that several of the folks who came into my home here without wiping the mud off their shoes were expunged 🙂

I did not perceive any part of your comment as negative 🙂

Your comments here have always been appreciated. It will be great to meet you on the Palouse IPT. It was only yesterday that I connected you with your e-mail address 🙂

with love, artie

The before and after was perhaps an indelicate (on my part) observation of the improved diplomacy in replies and responses to comments here in the forum. It’s better, and that’s good in my book.

Please excuse what might be construed as a negative comment; it is not meant to be.

I have to be conscious of what I say and how I say it. Lots of times it’s better if I said nothing at all. Gotta remind myself not to be one of those “people who think they know everything can be most irritating to those of us who do”. Been working on that one for 50 years and still not getting it right everytime.
All the best. Looking forward to seeing you next week in Pullman.
