Some, on this board, are trying to get us to be friendly and my response to you was less than friendly. I am sorry for that. The Brits, Spanish, and the rest of the civilized world must have a great sense of humour to tolerate some of us Americans. Unfortunately, a few of us have earned the "ugly American" tag. However, I do believe that your response to BrilandGirl was a bit harsh. It had the ring of frustration rather than mean-spirited.
You are correct about this being a "lovely board" ----- most of the time. Once in a while it is not so friendly, and that is truly regrettable.
: Actually, I'm Spanish. But your point is well-taken. Americans have a wonderful sense of humour, and I am sorry for having used the term somewhat perjoratively.
: Apologies all around.
