Umm, let's take it down a notch, kiddies.
I was about to tell Pat hi, and welcome aboard, when this broke out. Other folks coming in here have been politely asked to do a little more research, and I'm one who has said it before. We can quote Websters, and be technical, but it's probably nearly universally accepted that calling someone ignorant is saying they're stupid. I've done it lots of times, the intention always being I meant they were stupid. When I saw that, even my happy ass grabbed a 10-foot pole. And while we're at it, let's not put the start of this on Bryony. It doesn't appear that way to me. If I'm the only one who associates ignorant with stupid, then accept my apology up-front. Just call me ignorant. Patti
