Hi Okie Dokie. I think of you as being a good egg and I have no idea why you might consider yourself a thread killer.

I have a slightly different take -- I do not like getting into PMs with people. Once in a while, I PM, and after knowing a couple of people here for a long time -- meaning more than year -- we exchange some emails outside of PC.

I prefer the group threads, where I can get input from at least a few people and a broader point of view. I block a few people for personal reasons, but not very many.

It takes a long time for me to warm up to people, here or face2face.

There is absolutely nothing personal toward you or anyone else in that.
