Why are we back here again? This is ridiculous, honestly.

So assuming you're sincere in your assertion that I misstated and was condescending, this will be my last attempt to explain. I will rephrase: Instead of stating the OP was incorrect, I should have clearly stated 'the OP was incorrect in her understanding of the information that Sterling conveyed.' I thought that was clear. I also said I thought the misunderstanding was understandable, given the situation. I have no idea why you would find a sincere statement like that on my part to be said in a 'condescending tone', when I was very very carefully trying to state what happened without assigning blame.

Please note that I was posting because I wanted to support her assertion that Sterling had shown up (which many people found unbelievable).

As far as me trying to 'Bonnie-splain', I was only conveying exactly what Sterling told me he said at the time.

I will be sure to be very precise in the future and include all the information into one sentence. I was at fault for assuming that everyone reading the post understood exactly what I was saying (and plenty of people did).

I'm not going to fight with you. I accept that you were unable to understand what I posted & that you assumed I was being condescending. I know I wasn't, but -shrug- nothing I can do about that.

Why are we back here? That would be because I responded to a post you made about how many "Disagrees" you've allotted me. If you didn't care for a response, then why make a post?

As for more accuracy in the future, yes, that would be appreciated and we should all strive for that. As an example, in the post above you stated "you assumed I was being condescending." In the interest of accuracy I didn't "assume" that, I merely mentioned that it "could be perceived to be a condescending tone."

Furthermore, I disagreed with what could be perceived to be a condescending tone towards her when you claim she likely mis-remembered or misunderstood due to a stressful event.
 
So now that I have an autopilot car (as of today), yes the cruise on/off button has gone away. The end of the stalk is now the following distance control.

Still, the stalk is a lot smaller and I'm not tempted to confuse them, even though I was driving a car with the opposite stalk layout this morning.
