Thanks, but there's a time and place for it. Looked like I was questioning Pugsy's advice.
And for the record, if I tell you to do something and Pugsy tells you to do something else - do what Pugsy says.
I've only been here for a year or so.
I may make the above my signature line.
Actually I didn't really take it that way....that you were questioning me (which btw people are more than free to do) and unfortunately I missed the "making a funny" part.
Sometimes I simply don't have much of a sense of humor and I miss people making a funny. Or sometimes I just can't tell...is this person just making a joke or do they really feel this way.
I flunked mind reading 101 in college.
I have said some things that people get their panties all in a wad over and I was trying to be cute and make a funny but it got took all the wrong way.
It's very hard to see the smiles behind the words.
I didn't see your smile behind the words.....but I didn't really have a problem with your words even if you hadn't been making a funny.
In truth we probably shouldn't be experimenting too quickly and I am always normally the one to say "don't rush your experiments...repeat and verify before another change is made" unless the results are horrible and I see no sense in repeating horrible results or risking doing so.
In truth I don't always practice what I preach.
And I can certainly see where there are situations where curiosity simply outweighs scientific logic.
I don't mind people sharing ideas different from mine....I really don't unless I think the idea is potentially dangerous.
I don't walk on water and sometimes a different point of view needs to be taken...I can't always think of everything and I do miss stuff.
Sometimes a different pair of eyes looking at something is needed to maybe come up with another plan. Nothing wrong with that at all.
And unfortunately I don't always see the smile behind the words....
I tend to be "all business" sometimes and my sense of humor simply didn't make the business trip.
But I didn't mean to sound like I was calling you on the carpet for what you said...which is why I didn't quote you. Nothing wrong with what you said even if you hadn't been making a funny.
I simply offered another way of looking at things...and when I do that in threads it doesn't mean that I have a problem with what someone has said...just means I am offering a different way of looking at things.
We have another forum member her who just hates it when I come in and do that...they take it as a personal attack on them and I don't mean it that way at all but I can't seem to get that person to understand that adding something or saying something even if it is the same thing means that I have a problem with what they said.
So carry on making funnies even if I miss them. The forum does need them....this stuff gets all too much work and making funnies makes the work easier to swallow.
Sometimes we just need to smile.
. No more SO anymore, don't even have a kitty any more. So I don't have to worry about frightening man or beast in the middle of the night - ha!
We need an emoji for that...Thank you as always. I am armed with info for another night for another experiment. I am starting to feel like Dr. Frankenstein's experiment. 
I may go put some Kahlua in my coffee. Have to go to a Dr's. appointment so it will be awhile before I can come back and read any suggestions. Good news: only woke up once to go to the bathroom so I am not waking up a lot except for adjustments...well I guess that does count.
