Where was I impolite? (I leave the relevant quote above).

When I read doraymes post there was no explicit indication to me that she
was offering up that URL as a place giving out bad advice. The OP or any
other newbie reading that post might quite well take the URL as being
offered up as a good example, which it is not. And I am not talking about
anybody who might be "stupider" than I. I am talking about people who may be
considerably less informed. Less informed so as to read doryames post as
endorsing the subject URL.

In fact, her prose: "I mention it because there is a lot of bad advice
about" leads me to believe, on the face of it, that she *is* quoting that
URL as a good one, and all the others offer bad advice. Once again, and as
usual for doraymes posts, ambiguous.

And if the woman cannot accept a little correction of the above ambiguity
then she has more problems than simply living in Bondi.

At least my posts are to the point, not brain dumps of meaningless ramblings
that I see an increasing number of people answering with "WTF are you
talking about?"
