I don't know what Arthur intended, I can only respond to how it made me feel. It felt like an attack on my professional reputation. We all depend heavily on our reputations and the idea that I feel anything but respect and regard for the people who read my articles and are able to use them is just... I was floored by Arthur's insinuation. Comparing them to drug addicts was insulting -- thinking that I might compare them to drug addicts was appalling to me. I didn't ignore your post. I had no questions and nothing to add to it. Over the years, we've all learned that the casual "thank you" posts are frowned upon. One of the things that I try to do is give a general "Thanks to everyone ..." at the end of a conversation. I didn't set out to ignore you or show any disrespect. I wasn't done yet! If you found my lack of immediate response to be disrespectful, I'm sorry -- it wasn't intended that way. Susan H.
