- Obiously someone is trying to flame me.
-
- I responded PRIVATELY in E-MAIL that I thought this post offensive and very
- close-minded, as well as completely without fault. If I said anything here
- that may be construed as offensive to anyone, forgive me, it is not what I
- meant in the least...
-
- I meant that it is difficult to get a massage from a FRIEND (although the
- respondant here obviously 'skipped' that part of the message) as opposed to
- someone who is a professional.
