Annapurna, you are correct and I appreciate your input. I hope my choice of words were not seen as an attack but, rather my attempt to diffuse what I saw as an escalating problem. Since writing is one dimensional, it can be tricky choosing one's words when trying to communicate a point online. My intent has always been to be helpful and not become part of a problem. Going forward, I plan to stay out of this exchange and will leave it to others to moderate.
