FWIW, Leif responded to my reply to one of his early posts in his second incarnation almost identically as he did to Henry's. In fact, it was my citation of Henry's review of the 8x56 FL that first incited his feelings of being replied to as if he were ignorant, because he said he had made the same observations that Henry did but long before Henry. As if I were supposed to know that! Besides, even though I replied to his post, I was also addressing the general discussion for everyone, just as Henry was.
From that post and others that followed, I concluded that Leif either has a "chip on his shoulder" like Rodney Dangerfield or he's treated like royalty at work and expects the same special treatment here, so I had Prof. Oz award him an Honorary Doctor of Thinkology, so no-one again would think him ignorant, but I guess Henry didn't see that (I told Leif to post the diploma in his signature!).
My advice to Lief: You have much to contribute to BF with your extensive knowledge of optics, but if you want people to reply to your posts without fear of reprisal, don't always assume what they're saying is a personal attack on your intellectual prowess. A guy with your optics "chops" shouldn't have an ego that's so easily bruised.
