There really is no need to apologise, thats the joy of these forums, you can have a debate, sometimes a heated one, but ultimately everyone should be allowed to say their bit. You are allowed to post what you like and likewise people are allowed to disagree. Just take it on the chin and as mentioned before you generate so many responses and chats, so atleast you are having an affect on people, good and bad! But maybe what you have written at the bottom should be a new thread to end this long winded one!
P.S You do make me giggle on my dull days, so that can't be bad!
