Dear CH,

Your reprimand was totally unnecessary.

The so called - "quibbling," had already
ceased with my last post.

And once you've been on this forum a bit longer
you will discover that there are many discussions
that often
go off-track which for many posters is just one
of the things they enjoy about this forum.

Someone makes a comment - others feel
obliged to respond to it.

In any case - it is good to see that you're still
reading this thread - even though you were not going
to contribute to it initially.

How about putting your money where your mouth is -
and contributing something more substantial to the
topic.

Now that would be constructive.

As I said....

Dear Is Mise,

How about saying more?

Foxy you really can't ever admit you were wrong or let anyone's comment go, without a retort, can you.

Dear CH,

Not from people whose opinions I respect.
It's an occupational habit. My responsibility
in my profession is not to deny, but to add,
enrich, stimulate and amplify the knowledge
of people. Educators and librarians do have
a responsibility to select reading materials.
I guess this habit sometimes passes over into other
areas of my life.

You actually don't have to make comments if you don't
want a response. Also you're not under any obligation
to read my responses either.

Enjoy your day.

Foxy,

"How about saying more?"

There is nothing more to be said.
