It's not meant to be rude at all, Gary. Don't be so defensive when someone gives you a compliment. I agreed with what you were saying but you were missing the bullseye.
Furthermore, I, nor anyone else, needs to know you personally nor needs to have communicated previously with you, to comment on what you have clearly written. I commented on the ideas that you wrote, not you personally. Big difference; one you should probbly learn before wading into the deep end of the pool.
Finally, I posted my article for your benefit, not to promote myself. It's called an exchange of knowledge. It's what people do who actually want to learn and not just "go-off" on others tyring to converse with them.
