Hi,

I am not debating whether it was your problem, I know it was mine. I am
just saying that I did not see the problem, and do not believe I was
responding in a way to deliberately annoy anyone. It was a mistake, that
is evident. How we communicate things to eachother is very important, and
getting irritated at me for not picking up on what you meant doesnt help
anything. I admit I am very short sighted when it comes to things like
this, as you said I could have looked at the default you pointed out and
seen it. Whether you wish to call me daft or not is up to you, I do not
see why this is why 'you never wish to deal with me'.

But that is up to you.
