Nothing personal about it.  Sometimes it's just a matter of tone, and 
that too is a matter of perceptions.  When newbies are involved in this 
kind of issue I prefer to give them the benefit of the doubt.  Those of 
us who may have been around a little longer can be expected to have a 
thicker skin.  Your later postings in this seemed calmer.
Peace.
