Oops, did I say cookie? No offense, VPL.

I would guess you are refering to her statement that, "value can be missed if delivery is uncomfortable." I understand it and agree with it. The problem is I often don't have the time to stop and think how to make the message more comfortable. What in particular would you like to see changed?
Villages PL,
I apologize if my post offended you, as it was not my intent at all.

When I said no offense to you for saying she's a smart "cookie," I was trying to make a play on word, i.e., cookie usually brings to mind a sweet treat with um ... sugar and butter. You don't like sugar and butter. I meant it as a light-hearted joke. Apparently it did not come across that way. I truly am sorry.

p.s., Thanks for saying I'm a smart cookie, even though I apparently wasn't.
