Another response to peps post...could certainly have been.
You seem bothered when you are uncertain what other people are thinking.
Thats real life...thats what happens.
Hard?...( insert your own value and belief system)...It has to be done.

OK.... What are you saying? I am completely lost, not that that's always a "bad" thing.... sometimes being lost is fun <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" /> Pep

Max,
Ummmmmm......I'm lost too. But, I'll say this if you were referring to me?
OF COURSE it bothers me when I am uncertain what others are thinking! Why wouldn't it??? I want to know so that I do not jump to conclusions or assume things. So rather than assume I know what someone is thinking when they say something, if it is not clear to me, I will try to find out!
See, with this post even, I have to ASK you what you are thinking! Cuz I don't know what you're trying to say here.

Onlywords , you asked what my motives were for posting what I did.
I thought Peps question of how I would respond in her locked thread...was a very good one. So I responded with one option available to me...whats above is simply another response that could have been appropriate...if someone had approached me in the manner Pep ( lets say) role played.
Nothing cynical in it.
Both of those example responses are simple tactics...to move the focus back to the helpee.
I was pressed for time again last night...I should have been more specific. Apologies for the confusion.
