WalterBright 7 years ago Absolutely. But I was better off hearing it unkindly than not hearing it at all. Also, and unkind message might jolt me into taking it more seriously. tunesmith 7 years ago Yeah, I get curious about the latter. I get it, those jolts appear to help sometimes, but ideally we'd treat it with the seriousness it deserves whether it was presented kindly or unkindly.
