Ryan:

You have very eloquently stated where you are coming from.  
I totally agree with what you said.  You have a lot of class.

Please pardon my poor attempt at trying to explain why I found 
what you said as so funny. Humor uses absurdity to communicate 
a truth.  I guess I just found it so absurd that the 3rd 
or so person to post would follow Xylen's post by saying what you did.  
It just seemed obvious that the 3rd person to post would not be jealous, 
but in some way poking fun at the whole ..."I'm better than you" ladder... 
(Something that does deserve some frivolous mockery.)  Thanks in advance 
for your pardon.  (I still crack up when I read your post, - even more 
so now that I know you better.)



Xylen:

It is evident that you also have shown a lot of class.  It's great to be 
a part of such a good natured group.  I hope more people will not be afraid
to open up like you did and be a little silly.  It is one way we add a 
human touch to this work of learning that we do.
