Not even a whisper.

None. Nil. Nothing.

No sarcasm.

I do regret that you interpreted my remarks as sarcasm, but I assure you that when I do use sarcasm, it is very obvious and usually more than slightly cutting.

What I wrote in post #43 was relaxed, friendly conversation.

I do not like being called a troll.

I do not like being accused of being sarcastic.

I am neither of these things, and in this particular Forum I go out of my way to try not to offend anyone.

I'm out of this discussion.

Alan, taking offense to my suggestion of sarcasm is also not really necessary. I am completely fine with your insistence that whatever the tone was with which you responded to me was not sarcasm. Call it what you will. I am not attached to names. But no matter what you want to call it i certainly was not offended by it.
But i certainly never made any statement or accusation of you trolling this site and don't see how you managed to go there in your response. I am afraid that it is you who seem to be offended in this case, and i do regret that you could find the simple one line suggestion in my response that a sarcastic response was unnecessary something to take such offense about.
