No, but I most certainly will never offer any again.

No insult intended and I will be careful what I say in the future.

I forgot to mention - clearly you meant no offense, and you certainly
couldn't have known that it's one of my pet peeves, either!
I can be quite touchy at times (I'm bipolar), and we're in the process of
finding the right meds for me.

I apologize to anyone I didn't intend to offend. If I intended to offend, I
really hope you know which you are.

I wouldn't go that far - sometimes it is best to offer advice. That is,
offer to give advice, then wait for the answer. Heh. Anyhow, here are some
amusing quotes about advice.

Bill Cosby: A word to the wise ain't necessary, it's the stupid ones who
need the advice.

Carolyn Wells: Advice is one of those things it is far more blessed to give
than to receive.
G. K. Chesterton: I owe my success to having listened respectfully to the
very best advice, and then going away and doing the exact opposite.
Oscar Wilde: The only thing to do with good advice is pass it on. It is
never any use to oneself.

The best advice is this: Don't take advice and don't give advice. ~Author

No one wants advice - only corroboration. ~John Steinbeck, The Winter of
Our Discontent
We hate to have some people give us advice because we know how badly they
need it themselves. ~Author Unknown

Ophelia - this is Usenet. There is almost a requirement NOT to be
careful what you say.

Well, of course I am kidding (a little bit, anyway). I'm also guessing
that Lord Vetinari really understands that you generally mean no
offense.

Don't worry.
Nobody here gives a fucking shit about you.
I have noticed you are a whiney old fart...see if they can find
medication for that fat ass you sit on.


SNIP a bunch of stupid shit

Hey dumbfusk ... USENET requires that little snippet of wisdom be
ignored.

What a fuckin boring brooding little bitch you must be.

You are correct, sir! I don't always manage to convey just what I'm
feeling, but that's life.....
