New Salt System, algae is recurring regularly

[CarlD]

Carl,

Dude!! Obviously I am totally miscommunicating here with you. I WAS JOKING. That was meant to be funny, not an insult.

I realize that writing posts on a forum removes all visual/non-verbal clues from normal human conversation and that we have to be careful in how we write things but I've read that post back a bunch of times and I just don't see it as an insult.

Is there some way you prefer, in written format, to offset things in order to indicate sarcasm or humor, because i seem to be leading you into inferring malice with what i write and that is totally NOT the intent.

You have my apologies again for a poor post but can you please help me to understand you a bit better? Or, at the very least, just take a lot of what I say with several grains of salt....

It's simple: Treat other people with the same respect you want to be treated with. Hiding a disparaging insult inside a "joke" is generally not how to do it.

Again, no insult or disrespect was intended but my apology once more since it was received that way.

Perhaps, if you feel it's appropriate and if it's not too much trouble, you can simply delete all the posts of mine (including this one) that have derailed this thread. I'm specifically thinking of #44, 46 & 48 but any older ones as well. They are of no use to the thread or the original posters question and only clutter up the conversation.
