Aeowyn, I hope you won't leave this place.
I guess it was simply some kind of misunderstanding. Don't forget that most of us aren't English natives and/or don't live in an English speaking country. This inevitably creates some misunderstandings from time to time, but differences in cultures help also to get more diversity in contributions and ideas. [:)]
