First I am not the administrator, I am just a subscriber. In the original post there was used a acronym, I apparently missed a post of someone asking about the acronym, which then another person blasted the original post saying that not everyone understands, etc. Which lead to the below message. I do not believe that it was sent to hurt but direct to resources available. We are all here on this list to find out answers, questions are fine, and those that wish to answer the question with a straight forward answer are welcome but do not belittle each other, everyone has their own way of collecting the needed info and we should respect that, just as you would someone in the real world. We all at one time or another step on someone's toes, we just need to remember to say "I'm sorry" when we do. Thanks for listening to my take on the matter. "Happy Fathers Day" to all the Daddy's researching!
