That first meeting ...

Ouch. Thought this would be a simple one. Really just wanted to know "how casual" as I often wear suits and ties as everyday dress. I'm personally just as comfortable that way, though I often dress western casual (NOT "cowboy", I refuse to have my name engraved on my belt or wear two-pound buckles.) Hope my boots don't turn anybody off, 'cause I don't own any Nikes. Cornell - I didn't take Gig's comments as a put-down, only an expression of her experience.

Thanks, Bill. I didn't take it as a put-down nor did I reply in that attitude. Just my opinion.

Maybe you're right, Bill. I guess I did come off rather dry but nothing was meant by it--as I said, merely my opinion 'on things'. I'm sure GIG knows that and realizes that I have nothing but the highest regard for her knowledge.

I'm human...sometimes the things we want to say don't always come out the way we want them.

So, I think I'll go and get a big scoop of Phish Ice Cream that someone recommended to me.

You're right. I p.o. some people even when I'm agreeing with them. I wouldn't be a good debater.

Well Cornell you are smarter than me and have been doing this longer than me so you are right for sure and I had better just button up I guess.

GIG, you certainly didn't disappoint me in your reply. I expected as much.
