And I'm pointing out that another poster found your comment offensive and a particular response would be appropriate & polite.

Did you actually intend this post to be as denigrating as it reads?

Sarcasm again? Or just flippant?

Respect is at issue here.
Some of us were fortunate to have been sent off to training. Others learned by self-study and trial-by-fire. Some of our careers have spanned decades. Mine, for example, began in the 1960's.
Respect is earned by professional contribution. Ms. Fraser has earned hers here.

I usually get paid for ghost-writing.
A simple rule: if you have nothing nice to say, don't say it.

I've offered my suggestions for some additional words. Your apparently flippant prevarication is not doing you any good.

bruce, Vitor, exerk...... Your kind comments mean more to me than I can adequately express. That's not just an expression, I really can't put it properly into words.
Thank you....  |
