HIya Cheryl, I was the only person who had answered your post in the
beginning. Now I've just read this whole thread. When you posted about people
not responding, it did sound to me like you were being "sarcastic" to Michael
in your post about him not responding as it didn't interest him.

When we type on the internet it can be interperted in different way according
to whom reads it. They are just typed words and we cannot hear a tone, or see
a face when reading it. If Michael did take your post the wrong way, at least
he was man enough to apologize to you about it. That is more than I can say
for alot of people on this board. Michael is a very honest man, a very
knowledgeable man whom you can learn a great deal from. Just because he has
problems with another person on this chatboard, doesn't mean that you should
"jump on that ban wagon" sort of speak. We are adults here, and to me when an
adult apologizes with the sincerity that Michael had, we should accept the
apology. That is of course unless we like to hold grudges for whatever reason.
If that is the case, life will be very unhappy for someone like that. It was
an honest mistake on Michaels part, he truly thought you singled him out and
was giving him heck for not answering. I can see where he would have thought
that.

Michael is not a "guru" as someone else has said. In other words someone was
saying he was trying to control females, or be the big shot of the board. I
find this rather ridiculous!! Michael has enough information in his head to
have that title, but being the unselfish person that he is, he takes his time
in here and via email to answer all the questions that he can, while he takes
care of his home and his flock, and all his other personal affairs. He doesn't
want that title!

We all have bad days Cheryl, so as I said before, he apologized, don't just
chalk him off as a "rude" person. Thats so not Michael. Just read his posts
sometime when you have a few moments, he truly is a wealth of knowledge and
would help anyone at anytime.

Thanks for listening
Debby
