From reading Paul's post I really don't think he meant any harm but was just making an inquiry. Paul is a great guy that I've known a long time both personally and professionally, I have never seen Paul try to insult anyone and I doubt that he meant to insult you at all. In any event he did apologize in a lower post. One bad thing with both post and e-mails is that things are sometimes misinterpreted as to the actual meaning and knowing Paul as I do I sure he meant no insult of any kind....
