Hi EE,
I'm glad you posted this. I wanted to post exactly what you said as soon as I saw the first post. But I didn't, for some reason. Now, I feel badly for not being quicker. I usually don't hesitiate like that.I'm sure these posters just totally weren't thinking....but we have to...to try harder to put ourselves in the shoes of *everyone* on these boards before we post some things, even when they might seem humorous at first....
I kind of feel like an expert, because IRL, (more in the past than the present I surely hope) I have hurt people with impulsive joking. It feels bad afterwards...for everyone. :-(
Anyway...thanks, EE, for stepping up as I should have done.
