Greetings, bigmothertrucker, from a fellow Canuck.

I note from your posts that diplomacy is not your strong suit. It is generally good form to listen before you speak, especially in a forum that brings expertise and experience from a remarkably diverse group of people.

People with nothing to prove speak quietly and thoughtfully, without bluster or boast. They know more than you and I, but have the courtesy to guide the discussion forward instead of shutting it down. I think you will find a great many quiet-spoken and thoughtful people here.

I honestly hope that you will take these suggestions to heart.

Submitted with all humility and respect,
Doug
