I'm sorry redlandslide if I offended you. I was just playing around with you.
Nah, I didn't know about the guessing the letter first rule, but that's not why I deleted my post. After posting, I realised I wouldn't be online again for about 20 hours or so, then when you posted your rule reminder informing me that without a letter my guess was invalid, it gave me an opportunity to delete my post and not stall the game for an entire day.
