Hm, since I can't see any offence in the posts I better stop posting here before I annoy Ruben.
Sorry Ruben, but I'm not up to your expectations.
On the contrary my friend Socke, feel free to "annoy" me as much as you want, expressing your views in the most detailed and friendly way you can. Stirring variety of opinions, i.e. discussion, if carried within a frame of friendship and respect, is the best way to get deeper understanding and benefiting from a thread.
I am no owner of the thread, nor anything of the like, the thread was initiated by Natalia, and my standing here is no better than yours. But a fine thread like this one, turning personal and negative, is an effective way to finnish it, being or not that the intention of the involved characters. When a thread turns personal hostyle, this produces shutting the mouths of both members, guests, and guest who may turn into new members - as no one wants to enter such a mess. It was upon this situation that I started to ring the bells.
Fortunately a fine new female member, Nancy, emerged
despite the abovementioned and stating :
"did not see anthing that should be a problem. I don't agree with all the things that have been said but , as my mother would say...thats why there is chocolate, vanilla and strawberry! So to move on..."
My friend Socke, you don't have to fill my expectations, but yours', and despite mine or anybody else. I always have held you as person devoid of any intention of annoying, hurting, or collecting past debts.
In my humble opinion, it was Nancy with her mature character, that has saved the thread, inputing new blood. Therefore my friend Socke, doors open more than ever.
Cheers,
Ruben
