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

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.
