I learned a long, long time ago not to take offense at what people say. If they say something worthy of a retort, I just try to be somewhat clever about it.
And no one has said anything in this thread which even appears to be trying to be offensive.
It's amazing how frustrated people get when they discover they can't get
you angry or hurt your feelings.
Another thing I also learned a long, long time ago was that when I deserve to be corrected about something, I should try to have the good sense to accept it with some simple grace. That also really annoys people who want to get you down.
And Hobferret you just need to learn how to outsmart the dang computers. It's really simple to prevent them from thinking faster than we do. Just keep a really, really old computer running around the house and use it once in a while to reassure yourself you still have "personal computing" speed faster than a simple piece of silicone.
And if that fails, take a very large hammer and show it just who's still Boss around there.
