I don't think the gentleman was trying to convey any obligation
on your part.  He just reacted in surprise (as most sane people
do) to the trash that other folks posted.

After a few years reading the daily drivel from Jiminex, Olson
and the like, one tends to become a bit jaded.  Newcomers are
amazed at these folks' online behavior and they wonder if such
behavior is the Norm within our industry.

Don't take offense at the gentleman, Bob.  I don't think he was
trying to chastise you.  He was just reacting in the way normal
humans do to the verbal effluent that has become standard fare in
ASA.
