So today the internet has reminded me that every person you 'meet' here might just have more going on than you think.
You can treat them two very different ways, since you will likely never meet them in real life.
And I hope that I'll be able to treat more total strangers in the positive way, more often.

Well stated. I've been thinking a lot about this guy today and the Pelican community in general. It's way too easy to be a dick on the internet when someone rubs me the wrong way. I'm trying to remember if I was sarcastic to him, if I didn't type it I sure thought it. My NY resolution is to practice restraint of pen and tongue, (plus typing finger).
