You did sound just a wee litle bit, how shall I say? remonstrative? But 
that certainly is no cause for any kind of apology because: a) Who I am 
to complain? (In my other life, I am constantly reminded of my … er … 
abrasiveness, this being by far the nicest term.) b) It is certainly not 
in my own interest since, if memory serves, you have been among those 
who answered some of these trivial/lazy questions of mine. :-)
