I don't think he did in this case, which makes a change. He was trying to address Owen's question - you were trying to answer a different question entirely.

Regardless of whether my contributions were helpful to Owen or not- Bruce's attempt at insulting me was what I was referring to with the "own goal" comment. And to your point about my answering a different question, I actually answered a direct question from Owen, truthfully, and in a manner quite consistent with previous exchanges on this group: ======================================= > So what does come recomended? Could be warmish, so something in a > light colour would be good. In the time-honored tradition of recommending what you own: The Aerostich Roadcrafter One-Piece suit. http://www.aerostich.com/aerostich-suits/roadcrafter Not for everyone, obviously. ======================================= See that last line? I KNOW my choice isn't for everyone. All I was trying to do was to offer up what I chose, if it doesn't meet Owen's needs, or someone else's idea of what makes a good choice for them, they are certainly free to decide for themselves, a point I have made more than once in this thread. If you think my choice isn't right for you, it isn't. But childish insults as a debating technique? Honestly, I don't know where Bruce was coming from or why he obviously feels such animosity toward me. It's not returned, by the way.
