Rudi did make an arrogant statement and I went after him for a few posts. I received at least 10 sympathy e-mails, and only one that stood up for him at the time. I am not a flamer, but was actually offended by his attitude. I took his silence to be embarrassment, and only sought an apology.

Had I been a flamer, I would have gone on and on. In short I stopped as my point was made.
