Not only do I not have a problem with it, I'm with snapesbabe on thinking that's actually one of the nicer things I've been told in a while. :) It's very good to have friends like that.

...you know, I'm with the other folks who said this. This is probably one of the nicer things I've heard, actually.

And I have no problem with being called out - like Jennie who you quoted, I can't promise that I won't try and defend myself, but I'll listen and not dismiss and have no basic issue with it.
