Not sure how anything I've said was disagreeing with you. I wasn't, or at least that wasn't the intent. I was simply trying to clarify my point. The piss and moan comment wasn't directed at you. It was a comment at the general tone of this thread. My apologies if you took it that way.

I wasn't talking about you - it was a general comment about people who are accused of "pissing and moaning" and why I think that happens. And I totally understand who your comment was directed at - I didn't take it as directed at me, nor did I indicate that I did, but perhaps the straw man you've built did.

I think you've accomplished what you intended to. I bit. I'm sorry I did. I'll put your hook and worm back in the water now, and let someone else go after it.
