Where are you here?"[/i]
Hi TT - Thierry's comments woke me up a bit.. I have been fiercely wielding my soldering iron! :-) .. Spent last few days designing + building a speed controller for a synchronous AC motor to modify a laminator .. I can now transfer toner directly to PCB and make circuit boards cheaply in minutes.. This equipment saves me hundreds of pounds required to get boards made quickly.
[i]"Do you accept my apology?"[/i] Yes! .. But the original issue was not about me - I merely jumped into something which was not really my business - I [b]believed[/b] you were being rude to someone in a way which was entirely uncalled for.. IF you owe anyone an apology, it is him.
[i]"Good Luck!"[/i] Thanks! I need all the luck I can get!
.. On the matter of health problems - I know how ones health can severely affect who one is, and how one behaves.. Fortunately I have now (mostly) after 26 years, learned how to deal with hormone related behaviour swings - but I know that blood sugar and hepatic disorders can completely alter ones temperament and cause one to become a completely different person - particularly in the first few years before one has learned that the brain is a biological computer with behaviour that can be entirely modified by the chemical signalling occurring in it..
I expect that sleep problems could have similar consequences.. I found (eventually) that facing the victims of my appalling behaviour, apologising and explaining that I was in a state of "impaired responsibility" was the only way forward - People can be amazingly understanding!
So, Good Luck to you too!
