Perhaps it is the mere fact that your messages use certain words that
suggest your perspective as being superior. Perhaps a lighter tone and a
better use of softer words is needed in a public forum. This is a problem I
struggle with all the time, how to answer posts that bug me in a diplomatic
way, or not at all. I'm responding to this one, I hope, with words that
don't upset you, but maybe give you a better idea of why folks keep getting
ticked off.

I do not doubt that you are offering to do him a favor by sending him the
pictures. And truly, that's kind of you. Do consider the fact that although
he did say "LMKWYT", not everything you think has to be or should be said,
especially where public forums like Lugnet are concerned. Or if it seems
like the person could benefit from your differing observations, give as soft
a response as you can think of. Everybody likes to "save face".
I hope this helps. I only mean to help here, not upset. No doubt someone
will get in my face. To any future posts like that, I just smile and say, "I
keep my honesty to myself this time.. and thanks for yours :)"

I know what you are saying to me and I saw the designs of your factory but if you wish to retain the same shape (because not all factories are shaped the same) and want to make it more like a factory, at least add some of those yellow and (...)
