[Janice D. Soderling]

Shaun, I agree that I could have worded my statement more carefully. Sometimes, not often, but often enough to be remembered, a lazybones will, without identifying themselves or their purpose in asking, just pop up with a first post to get help with a school assignment. Then they plop back into the deep waters whence they came, perhaps with a passing grade.

I am not the first to post this kind of questioning reply.

I agree also, Shaun, that my post might have seemed unfriendly, not only to Kristin but to those who perceive me as Msssss. Scrooge, hissing and grouching on a daily basis.

Welcome Kristin to the Sphere and I hope I haven't frightened you off. I hope you will hang around and make many more posts and comments. It's a lovely place to learn and the vast majority are perceived as friendly and helpful.

(Though I did give an answer of sorts, didn't I? The only one so far.)

Cross-posted with a bunch of folks while I was thinking.
