Let's review the situation. A new poster named "Bluesmama" appears
and starts asking questions and making assertions. The normal
presumption is that you are new here. That is certainly how you wished
to be thought of; otherwise tyou would have used a more recognizable
screen name, if you have one.
Then I make the assumption that you, being new here, can know
nothing except what you have seen since you arrived.
At this point, you get rude and attempt to ridicule my supposed mind
reading tendencies and remind me that I do not know what you know or
don't know.
You cannot have it both ways. You become incoherent when you forget
whether you are a sockpuppet or not.
