Hmmm, I guess everyone's "funny bone" is indeed located in different spots, because I don't find Steve's intentional unkindness towards John (here or in any of the other threads) the least bit laughable or humorous.
Maybe some of John's posts are more detailed than the average person has time to spend comprehending, but his research and detailed offerings are done with the best of intentions and kindest of hearts. Since his stroke, typing is more of a challenge for John, so the fact that he spends this time typing information in the hopes that even one person will find it useful, is definitely a nice gesture that does not deserve ridicule from anyone.
To me "intent" is far more important than "content" - so I'd rather see John's detailed instructionals from the heart (even if I don't have time to sit down right then and fully digest them) than to see Steve's sorry attempts at being funny that are nothing more than him just being plain ol' mean.
Now, if I have totally misunderstood what's going on and John and Steve are best buds just picking on each other, than I apologize to you both - but I still don't find it funny.
