I really do not like Loren's "tone" in some of his posts. However, I also do not think that forums or email or even letters for that matter are a good way to judge someone's "tone" or attitude. These ways of communication leave a lot to be desired. They do not include voice intonation or body language- two very important pieces of the whole com. picture.

Now, in the past I have a had a negative reaction, so to speak, to a couple of his statements and conveyed that feeling in some posts. But, he is clearly quite knowledgeable about the subject and his latest post seems to indicate that he is gaining some experience in the comm department as well.

So, read the posts for the technical content and not the delivery style, and we should all be okay.

I have seen some posts where he helped people sort out some problems, so he is an asset to this board. If he offends you, turn the other cheek.

Just my discounted CDN 2 cents.
Thanks for your time, Jeff.
