You did not read my post carefully enough: I did not write "What are YOU guys..." but "What are THESE guys..." which should, togehter with the used smilies, clarify the actual attitude expressed in my first sentence!
For you, donquixote99, the modified post:
Some Americans simply adore The Barking Monster...

HK, I know you well be to a person of good-will, but that is, alas, never a guarantee against attitude. People are often inconsistent in their feelings!
I generally am of the opinion that text trumps emoticons, emoticons do not cancel text. You perhaps recall the old high school bully game--a guy hits another hard and painfully on the shoulder, then says 'sorry?' A
can be sort of like the "sorry," so used.
But I fully accept you were not playing that game, and I jumped on you too hard. Sorry! (really!
