I have no idea what post you are talking about .. went back to the end

of October and I find no post that I think you could be referring to.

Its possible that I don't have it now .. so please help me out. I think

it would be proper to do that since you are interpreting feelings you

own as being my responsibility.

I certainly don't intend my feelings to be your responsibility!! I was merely

suggesting that you can be interpreted as being a little guilty of the very

behaviour you are recommending we avoid!

So .. I assume that you are responding now because you no longer feel

that way .. am I right? ;-)

Please tell me which post you are referring to .. either by number from

the archive or by subject. The only post that has the same subject line

as the one you sent now was dated 1 December and was a response to

Sherry. If my response to Sherry is what you were referring to then

please lemme know.

Yes, the feelings have worn off! And I'm not so crazy busy as I was either. I

think it was post no. 26667 but I can't be sure. It was around that time anyway

when you were arguing what seems to be the American definition and I was arguing

the UK definition. I know it's all irrelevant in the long run (the definitions)

but I didn't know that was the American definition until then so at least I

learned something. It wasn't Sherry - it was another lady - and you basically

suggested she was behaving like an aromatherapy 'icon'. The crazy thing is I

think I only got involved in the initial discussion to defend the lady who makes

aged infusions and who was being 'attacked'!!

Oh, well, it doesn't matter. It's a great list - I love the majority of the

sentiment. And I learn plenty and will contribute wherever I think I can/should.

Thanks much. :-) Butch

And to you. Kind regards. Jane
