So explain to me how the first post could be considered stroking my ego? I'm a little confused. Its a simple comment about an event in my life that had to take place as part of my position at work. Did I say I called the person in, read them the riot act and kicked them out the door on their butt? Not in the slightest. I did what 90% of the rest of the contributors of this forum do. Open up a discussion that many can relate to. If you were offended by it then don't read the tread.
