Qualified apology to olbaby30

I reread my response to your post and I feel I must apologize for the tone of my reply.
I do stand by the gist however. Posts containing "shorthand" or Cellphonese just grate on my nerves. As I alluded to, the only thing typing costs you are a few seconds of your time, a very small price to pay in exchange for having your query satisfied.
Forums are probably the best information sharing platform ever devised by man. To have a meaningful exchange; pertinent information needs to be offered,as precisely as you can. To leave a respondent in doubt as to your goal, leads only to guesses and information that you are not looking for.

Well, I don't know that that would be called an apology,but it is what I got!
Never has anyone used the word tactful in connection with my name.

    From what I read of that exchange, if that isn't a troll, I don't know what is. That thread is borderline ridiculous.
  • Pitch its nice to see someone apologize, but I have read the posts and I didn't think you needed to apologize for what it's worth.
  • I agree with the cell-phone ease complaint. We're turning into a nation of illiterates and we look like idiots to international customers.
