You can choose to be insulted-that is your choice.
It was a classic comparison and contrast statement.
IF you compare Customs to Traditional, the regulars are different.
Things go down fast over there, discussions get very heated, epithets are hurled, and money does matter.
Over here, its' a bit slower, the regulars are WAY more welcoming, and tolerant of newbie gaffes.
The pace of discussion is relaxed, and tempers don't seem to flare all that much.
An insult it was not meant as, and thanks SHS, Shaldag and Bastid for taking up for me. Your bonhomie through the years has been a source of pride and comfort.
Best Regards,
