You've certainly changed your tune Les Petterson 
No, he hasn't, but he may have come to realise that there is more to you than the urge to "ruffle some feathers" of a few pretentious idiots.
The Dawg is very perceptive and wise.
He has the half of it at least
As you know I recently had my Gall Bladder out. In the year or so leading up to this I was very sick and in a lot of pain. It contributed in no small measure to my heart attack on Mother's Day. The surgeon told me that he had to forgo the usual mandatory 3-4 month waiting list on public health for the operation because I had left it too long to seek treatment and pain management (because of an irrational fear of hospitals and being fussed over) and scheduled me in for the operation within two weeks because he was seriously concerned I may not survive the waiting period.
I had been angry, frustrated, in a lot of pain and constantly sick and stressed over the effect on my finances (taking so much time unpaid off work) and unable to be as a worker, Father and everything else that I could have been. I chose to use this to vent on people I did not like and you were one of them.
That aside I still thought you pretty shallow and what not. However I did see you post on WP an interesting post and waded in to call you to rights on it but you r response gave me a fair bit of respect in its honesty and insight and displayed a lot more intelligence, self-awareness of your failings and exposed you to scorn. Pretty brave and show you as having a lot more dimension to your character.
I had the op about 4 weks ago and not only am I fully recovered but feel better than I have felt in at least two years and some 12 kgs lighter.
IN short Fiona, I was basing some pretty damning assumptions in what I saw of you and realise there is a bit more than what I saw and realise that many of your "failings" are probably similar to my own. My apologies. Not for any other reason than I recognise when I am in the wrong and I am here. So again my apologies.
Anyhow enough of poor-me posting
and thread derailing........as you were ladies and gents.
Oh Dawg is right to when he says I will always be the Sir_Les you all love.
