    I didn't deny that. And I did apologise for that 'fact'. It is the sarcasm I'm not happy with.

    "Just shows how clarity of language matters!" Well excuse me for being pregnant and frightened about the safety of the conditions I'm living in and therefore tripping over my sentence structure. How supercilious of you.
    ...
    Making assumptions when you don't know the background, and a contemptuous attitude is frankly unhelpful.
    There was no sarcasm. It was not supercilious. Your first post was confusing/misleading, so it was hard to provide help. Hence the attempt we all made to clarify the background to your problem. The comment about clarity of language was to explain why I'd misunderstood you.

    Your own highly defensive, and rather ungrateful attitude is far more negative than any reply you received here.

    I have been defensive as I think that your attitude was rather rude.

    I had apologised for the misleading post, as I have already stated. As for ungrateful, I did say thank you. If you read back, you will see this.

    The point I was making is that you might wish to consider the phrasing of your comments. I found it quite belittling. If this is how 'newbies' are treated here, I'm not impressed.
