TSandM is absolutely brilliant in how she always answers the newb question first, and then expresses concern. I strive to be like that.
To me, TSandM is one of the few members who I really respect on this board. She seems to always have the right answer and say it in the right way. She has great insight and sensitivity to the situation being discussed. When reading any thread with lots of controversy and the next post is hers, I know I can expect a calm, rational and well-thought out post that is helpful without any of the ego. Great choice to be like that! ... and kudos to TSandM!
