I would just like to take this opportunity to give my input about correcting list members. There is a vast difference between rudely pointing out the faults of other member's posts, which is clearly unacceptable. However, simply mentioning a person's name to give context or a reference to a message is perfectly acceptable in my eyes. Maria and other list members have corrected me on numerous occasions when I give incorrect info or state something ambiguously. I welcome their criticism, not only because it gives the user the correct information that they were looking for, but also because it causes me to update my information or learn to rephrase things. There is a difference between being snide and sarcastic and simply mentioning a name to get the attention of both the original person who asked the question, and the user who provided the incorrect information. I am afraid that in this discussion my name has been implied as one of the people who corrects people needles sly onlist. I'm sorry if anyone takes offence to this but I will not stop the practice unless someone has a particular question about my language or thinks my phrasing to condescending because I feel the usefulness outweighs the possible conflict. I and others are simply trying to give help in the best way we know how.
