diz,
this is my 2cents worth, coming from a guy who has met you and thought you were one of the nicer, more intelligent guys ive met on my travels. we had some nice talks and fun. but i will tell you, honestly, you can come off a little harsh on the board. i undersatnd your attitude about being blunt and direct, you will not meet a more direct person than me, i say what i belive. it just on a forum, sometimes it is hard to get across the exact emotion behind your words. there are times i go to respond to a post, even sometimes writing it, and then erase it because i dont think people will understand just from words what i mean. so i guess all im trying to say is that we all know your a hot head(in LOS, you have a hot heart) but you are definitely a good part of this forum, so come back and just kind of remember people sometimes cant see the emotions behind words.
1 more thing, could eb a little more patient with the newbies
