Seem awfully defensive lately. Did anyone refer directly to you?

No one said you were lazy.
OK, I guess I have been more frustrated lately and end up sounding defensive. Sorry, everyone.

I realize that azbigdawg wasn't calling me lazy individually, but at the time I took it to mean those, including me, who changed posture did it out of laziness, rather than what I/they thought was instruction. Of course, some are always lazy, always stood straight up and have never been in fair ground as PU. OK, I guess that's defensive too.
