SUGGESTIONS FOR QUALIFYING ANSWERS

Hi Orv.....

I agree with you. If I had the ability to save Jan's first post, I would have - as it made a lot of sense. In short, it was to "post what you know - and "how" you know it". I think as well, and I could be interpreting here - it is fine to post what you "think you know" based on personal observtion, but if you had a "source" for that information as well - simply post that source as well.

From my perspective - Jan's comment made a lot of sense. For example - if the source of my info is wrong, outdated or not proved - I'd want to know that. Also, I don't think Jan's suggestion takes away in the least - the "banter" that takes place in this Forum at all.

Please come back Jan!!! I'm not sure who said what to offend you, if that is the case (as Tom A. speculates in his post), but you would be sorely missed in this Forum if you were to leave. Maybe I'm speaking for myself - but my bet is I'm speaking for most of the folks here....
