Uh-h, Dave "implied to me" pretty much equals 'assumed'.

I 'assume' you are familiar with the little pun on ASS-U-ME?

I have done it. I'm pretty sure all the moderators have done it. And, now, you've done it, too.

Please be careful; newbies are just that, and I have a strict 'be nice to newbies' rule here.

It doesn't make any difference how 'educated' someone is in other areas; when it's new to you, it confusing no matter what your background is. In years past, 'newbies' here have included well, actual "rocket scientists" from JPL. And, they asked the same (well, no . . . ALMOST the same) questions as everyone else.

Granted, sometimes newbies need to be told to "go do what I told you to do, and don't come back till you've done it". But . . .

RULE #1: Never, EVER say it that way!
RULE #2: PM me or one of the moderators first.
RULE #3: Watch your 'tone' (I know, 'tone' is a property of spoken, not written language, but I assume you know what I mean.)
RULE #4: Never rebuke a newbie the first time it's deserved; always wait until the second time. (If it's a really egregious faux pas or rules violation, please "Alert" me).
RULE #5: If you think you have to 'rebuke' someone, see RULE #2 first.

Oh, yeah.

RULE #6: Before you ass-u-me that someone needs a good ol' slap on the head, RE-read their post CAREFULLY. Otherwise, you might act too quickly, and end up being the 'equine' of the non-horsey type. (Been there, done that, got the egg-on-the-face to show for it!)

Thanks,

Dave
