I was *thanking* you for stopping, where is the insult in that?

I don't get it...

I did not make any references to your grammar nor typos, did you
mean to put that in a followup to a post where such did occur?

Your .sig does not have a correct sig-dash, and it is more than 4 lines.

You have broken netiquette at least 3 ways in this thread.

You should either go learn the expected way of composing a followup,
or take your lumps like a man when you get called on it. Your call.

Top-posting is universally reviled, but that one is moot since
you have fixed it already.

Second, the correct sig-dash is "-- " followed by a newline.

Third, you are not supposed to quote .sigs unless you are
commenting on the .sig.

I *did* look at the thread you bonehead!

How else would I know to thank you for fixing the top-posting?

I won't be looking at any more of your posts I don't think.

Good luck!
