First, Jonx, I wonder why you say I'm "chiding" you? If you recall, you chimed in, supposedly sympathizing with Mike for his confusion but, at the same time, criticizing him for spreading that confusion to this family he's been corresponding with. I simply took you at face value and asked you to elaborate.
So what? You were just kidding? You don't really give a damn about Mike's confusion, or the family's for that matter? It's all a joke?
Why not drop the ad hominem digressive attacks and get back on track, Jack? Mike and I both have asked you to answer my questions. If you can't do so -- perhaps because you, Jonx, have your own confusion! -- please say so. Maybe we can all work this out together.
As for "role model"? Whatever gave you that idea?
