Sierra,

Sorry for the "scratch" comment and "who care's" comment. Maybe I could have worded it differently.

You have made it known that you have no interest in such an event and in an attempt at dry humor, I was trying to accomodate you. It's kind of like if a few people are talking at a party about wanting to go and see one of their favorite book authors at a private dinner theatre, and all of a sudden a stranger comes over to them and wants to know why they are interested in such an event. One of the people politely explains to them why they are interested and the stranger tries to still argue his/her points as to why he-she is still not interested. What do you think the response from the group would be? Probably something along the lines of "ooooookay, so we won't invite you to come with us." If you expected me to respond like I did after you posted (you think I flamed you), we both must have picked up on the same things in your post. So, we have no conflict then.

I wrote "who care's" because you got your question answered and still went on your soap box. Your entitled but I was trying to see what the big deal was. Hence, "who care's." In essence, you were saying the same thing to us.

I really wonder about all these people who post "unregistered" and claim that they have been reading the forum for a really long time but are too busy to post. Then when they finally do post, a comment is always made about my past posts. Interesting. I can't help but wonder if some of these people are actually regular posters but are too afraid to post certain comments under their regular names.
