Martin,

The someone was my brother and he did not ask if it was my candle, but 
if it was a candle that caused the fire. My response had more to do with 
his comment reminding me of an incident in my past and unfortunate that 
I feel familiar with some conversations and not so familiar with others. 
I knew how he would take it and I feel saddened and irritated that a 
context I did not intend was applied to my comment. I can certainly see 
how that happened. I did not mean any offense to anyone.
