Sue...To answer your points...You quoted what I had posted and then added..."Maybe I'm looking at the wider picture and not from a selfish viewpoint". As my post had mentioned rises were good for US, I took that to be a side-swipe at me, as oppossed to a direct attack/insult.As you have taken the trouble to explain that this was not the case, then I am happy to admit my interpretation on this occasion may have been misplaced( You know the sort of thing..assume..who's the ass etc). Thank you for pointing out that you were not having a go at me. I am sorry if you feel I have publicly attacked you. I do not understand the second of your paragraphs suffixed ETA. If you know the person whom you addressed the remark to, that's fine and thus it was wrong of me to comment. However, had you posted something like "You know me Otta can't be arsed etc" then others (myself included) would have realised it was a bit of banter between friends. Unfortunately, a lot of comments on forums/chatrooms etc can get misinterpreted as we are unable to hear the tone of voice, see the body language etc. Hope this answers the points you have raised, I am now going to log off for today and go and read a book. Sorry, that should have read "second of your paragraphs prefixed ETA"
