Why pick on Robert? You youself have manifested such an attitude, as, indeed,
have I.

We all relate to our own experience; there's nothing wrong with that.

Pete,
It seems to me that you, DD, I, and MOST of us USUALLY qualify our statements
with phrases such as " in my experience" or "from what I have seen". This is in
stark opposition to how RW usually (not always) makes his statements. I believe
that he has even stated that something along the lines of "of course I am
expressing my opinion or my experience" and seems to expect us to "infer" these
qualifications. As I have stated repeatedly, if he would qualify his statements
then (at least I - and I suspect others) would more easily respond to the
content rather than the tone of his posts.

(See for example, the recent notes on US government agencies and mainframes.
Compare his original wording with his later qualification - and then try to
apply his qualifications TO the way the original statement was worded.)
