Knowing the style of Tom's posts, for the most part they are generic in nature, and whatever the readers take away, is on an individual basis.

This is why many of his posts are new, with a new subject, thus not directed to anyone in particular. He without a doubt, is one of the kindess gentlement we have here, and I'm sure the majority will agree with that statement.

If he cares to address your question, that is his business.....

FWIW, you both got my thumb.
