     Yes.

   "The response would have been much less abrasive"

 And there you go. A nice meaningful suggestion/idea would *still* have been 
received with abrasive answers.

  That's not right for these groups. I've been around here constantly for a 
little over five years now, and truly, I couldn't wish for a better 
community, and wouldn't want a better bunch of <users> than in these groups.

 Now, Paris comes along, (a future prospect for the above), and although I 
don't fully understand what he was wanting, (without studying fully about 
his topics), I wanted to see what else he had to say because he seemed 
knowledgable in a 'different' direction, and I'm all for that if it helps 
PoV-Ray.

 He wasn't/isn't a troll. This guy handled everything thrown at him with 
dignity imo.

 Sincerely, there's a few 'chips-on-shoulders' around here where pride was 
probably hurt, and some people shouldn't have posted what they did.

  That's the way I see it.

   My tuppence.
