It's amazing how far I fall when you topple the pedestal you put me on.

And you know what? I set myself up for much worse than that. I got my knickers twisted by a few terse comments, and I let loose with a tirade that was neither fair to you nor appropriate in this forum.

When I first read your response, I went and tried to find your earlier comments that I got annoyed by--trying to reread. I couldn't find them amidst the near-glut of detailed, helpful messages in your history. If I'd done a minute's research, I could have saved myself considerable embarassment.

I apologize. I hope in the future to keep my feet out of my mouth and my head out of my, er, the dark.
