   If ever that is my only intention, yes!, although to be honest I cannot   
   recall a time where that was the case, as I do not consider stating an   
   honestly held opinion to be rude, even if the recipient does not agree, I am   
   always prepared to back up my opinions if needed.

   Correcting Snit IMO would be a job for our creator whoever he/she/it may be,   
   as I believe his major fault is a a physiological one, a malfunction if you   
   will.

   Understandable!

   Quite so! Perhaps I worded it badly? I should have said 'if clarification   
   were needed' clearly it isn't!
