I responded to this via Dale's post, but yes, I did! :-)  Like I told

You certainly *did not* tick me off.  I was just explaining.  Sorry if
you perceived that I was angry.  I just wanted to let you know that I
had put in some effort myself before "asking for a handout".

I could never get angry at anyone on this list - everyone has always
been very helpful when I needed it.  I may get frustrated, but at a
situation, not at a person directly.
