Re: minimum requirements



Sherry

I have been a bit busy and only just recently come back and intrigued by all
the comments.

I and am sure on behalf of all of us here did not wish to imply you were
dishonest and sincerley apologise if it was read that way. I did not mean to
have it read that way but you can understand now you read my post one way
and mis interpreted my comments aswell as others who posted.

Rereading my post again I see it as quite positive but then that is the
problem with different cultures / nationalities. Sorry, making assumptions
again as you mention we do not know you or where you are from

Don't be a stranger so we can get to know you. (hopefully you do revisit)
Your additional comments explain things more fully and your additional
knowledge could help others here...
