I didn't do it because I thought you cared. I don't know you that well.

Good to hear.
There is where you and I are gonna disagree, I have met(online not physically) many different people. I have enjoyed the fellowship, encouragement, and banter. If I didn't care why would I be here? My husband was already on the road more then a year when I joined. I didn't join just to find out about trucking but to hopefully pass on to other trucker's wives the wee bit of knowledge I have. It's lonely left at home with your other half long gone. It's scarey to think you might not see that person ever again. Marriage is tough enough in person let alone long distance, especially if it something unfamiliar.

You don't really mean that do you? haha :P

just as I am not of you and yours. Nor are you an enemy. I will never meet you in real life, nor will you meet me.
You are simply a person who posts on a message board on the world wide web, nothing more nothing less, as I am the same.

If the message board and www is not real, as you say, are we all just having 3,4, 5, way meaningless conversations with ourselves? Maybe I should make that a random thought.
But here is my truth as I see it. Everything I do, say, or think has a consequence. I don't live life in a vaccum. Even if nothing comes of my wasted time on the computer talking to imaginary peeps, the things I do and the things I say will still influence me in my real life.
I am not trying to debate the point or take away from what I said.
When I'm wrong, I'm wrong. When someone is right, they're right.
I didn't apologize to get "attagirls"or "props" from anyone. If I hadn't done it publicly I still would have apologized just privately.
I get that your an O/O with plenty to contribute to CAD or anywhere for that matter. It is a gift helping out people not just an industry.
I don't expect sugar coating or smoke up my skirt.
But a level of professionalism and courtesy can go long way with how information is received even if it is blunt and to the point.
