IAS, if you thought that you were ambushed, then you haven't been following this board otherwise you would know what an ambush is. You are welcome here if you contribute to the board. If your posts draw attention due to inconsistencies, as they obviously did given the posts and pms I've received expressing similar thoughts, then your posts will be discussed and questioned. I generally don't react to emotional manipulation either so the unjustly wounded response is not something I will relate to either. This activity is for emotionally balanced, savy individuals who have something to contribute and thus should be aware that ones ideas can come under attack. It's the way the world works. If you can't take the heat..... I apologize to those who find me abrupt, but time is precious and the market takes no prisoners. It's eat or be eaten. It is not my intention to be cruel, just to get at the truth of a situation the fastest way possible. How you handle this is up to you. I have not intention of becoming more welcoming on a board that has no faces, names or ways of determining whether we are reading the truth or not. If a person comes on this board to be "buddies" initially, I would say you'll wait a while for that phase, particularly if your posts draw attention. You have to do the trial by fire first.

All the best to you,

Sum
