I spend so much time being sarcastic that I actually struggle either to sound sincere when I am being or to be taken for sincere?

Yeah. Sometimes when I add to serious threads where I actually do care.........I can come across as a bit stilted (unless I have a VERY close and easy relationship with whoever I'm adding for)......

pffffffft makes no sense but I know what I mean........i think lol xx
