Thank you Miss Pessipiccia Tick.

Can you please tell me why it is that every time I ask a question here you
seem to reply in a manner that appears to attempt to deride me?

I have often asked questions here and got civil sensible answers that I do
appreciate and your method of replying severely detracts from this
newsgroup.

I will decide who I will have for my friends and if you think what I ask is
nonsensical then please refrain from answering.

Thank you also Jose, your answer is appreciated.
