"All us experts?" Only two people have commented so far. The entire membership is not on the site at any one time.

This fact should have been pointed out without taking a condecending, personal dig at the group.

May I suggest that if you wish to find a home here that you be as polite as you find everybody else is?

Many apologies for my writing ! I'm not English mother-tongue (as you can see) and I think that the way I wrote could be understood as a disdainful replay ( If this is the correct word ? ) what was not my scope...

I try to read as much as possible in your Forum, to increase my knowledge of " american way to express nuances "

The problem is that writing dont allow to see the reaction on the face of your correspondent.

The translation in French of my answer , would have been considered as someting "funny" or " joke between pals"...
and apparently I have to learn how to express that in English

So please go on telling me if some writing is not adapted
