You're right, I did make an assumption that you were new to the group.
A lot of people who are new make posts just like you did.  Saying we
shouldn't be too harsh on Brandon, after a while they realize maybe he
is just a troll.

Perhaps my post was a bit rude, I shouldn't have automatically assumed
you were new to this NG, although I am a bit baffled at hearing a long
time c.l.p reading calling Every anything but a troll.  You have to
admit, that is atypical.
