* It's ok. I used to have a problem when I'd be helpful and
       someone would say, "Nobody asked you!" or nobody asked for
       your opinion, or your kind isn't welcome here and such.

       But now I accept that I'm going to ruffle feathers, say the
       wrong thing, put my foot in my mouth, some people won't like
       me.. and I'll overstep local social boundaries. I try to be
       mostly likeable to make up my faux pas though - but I
       understand know-it-alls can be annoying and I know I can be.
       Sorry for assuming
       Oh, and I forgive you. But you were being honest, and
       there's nothing wrong with that. I'd rather honest than
       suffer in silence.
