Welcome Pickled!!

I would agree with you that you were very respectful in presenting your observations / opinions. I didn't take any of Hotboat's post to you to be a threat of banning you...at least that isn't how I read it.

It sounds like you have been around the forums for a long time and came here under a new name for a fresh start. Nothing wrong with that. Welcome again and enjoy the fresh start. (you do kind of have a similar writing style as Brown. LOL.)
