Thank you S. O, people can only do their best, it's only as you get older and wiser that you learn to step back. Thanks too for hosting. Tom

I often told apprentices that I trained to do their job to the best of their ability as it was their only resume.....

Thanks John, that's all you can expect of folk, you can always tell those who don't pull their weight though. As long as they're giving it their best shot. Tom

One often doesn't know what a poet is thinking when writing, their perspective is also often way off. You are right my friend, one should never criticize another's work. Best wishes for a win, Tom. Charlie
