Looks like I ruffles some feathers here but whether he meant it or not, I took it as a insult. HIs first post replying to mine in the Welcome thread no less is that I am "Curmudgeonly". I take a bit more offense that when I threw it back at him, the reply I get here is I am not supposed to insult a member, but yet the member insulted me first. You guys all may know him , but I don't. All I asked was about the personal questions, particularly my interests and that it is a requirement to be filled in and not seen by members. The only reason I see for asking that, is for data collection for advertisers.
