Peter:

Sorry, ire was a bad choice of words on my part. Your training
reading texts leads you to be sensitive in some areas. My work life
leads me to be sensitive in others. I spend a significant amount of
my time negotiating or otherwise being "tough", so outside work (in
direct personal and also hobby correspondence like this) I like to
think of myself as the most gentle, considerate person around. Hence,
I was a little oversensitive. Again, sorry.

In any case, thanks for your kind response.

Jim
