Several people have remonstrated with me for that, so I feel that I
should apologise.
I did not mean for the remark to be an attack, offensive, or hostile,
and I apologise if it came over as so.
My point was much simpler. Tony has criticised me in the past before,
for my poor hardware and soldering skills and my lack of interest in
learning. I merely meant to contrast my lack of interest in soldering
with Tony's professed lack of interest in learning to operate wheeled
vehicles. He has his interests, I have mine, and they're not the same.
I felt that his comment was implicitly criticising me and I was merely
seeking to remind him that we have different interests and different
priorities in life, nothing more.
I am really sorry for any offence my message might cause to Tony or to
anyone else reading it.

Unlike a lot of people these days, when I find I
want to do somethign
that I don't know how to do or don't have the skill to do,my reaction si
nto to give up, but to learn how to do it and to practice until I can do
it.
You have told me that you cannot drive or ride a bicycle, Tony.
Explain to me how this commendable attitude of "I can't do that, so I
will learn" applies to these activities -- daily activities for
billions of people, skills that would be very useful to you almost
every day.
