I got your views on a similar post so don't bother and be on your hiatus.

I hope you have accepted my apology.

[quote="nelsona"]See, I was willing to answer your questions, and in fact I have, but your persistence has resulted in my ending this thread.[/quote]

Apologise if I have offended you Nelsona.
