Per Wikipedia, "The term common man is used to emphasize the similarities or distinctions between a member of a social, political or cultural elite, and the average citizen."
Pretty standard usage, Frank.  If there were condescension around, I'd say it'd be on your end.
Anyway, signing over and out -

Asking for evidence or facts to justfy an assertion is not condescension. I thought Cavan people considered themselves to be the elite - or at least as good as anybody else - but I will defer to your greater local knowledge on that.  Anyway - nice to have had you around.  Feel free to contribute your tuppence whenever the spirit  moves you.  As I said earlier, a diversity of views is always welcome here, even if we sometimes do ask for evidence to justify an assertion.
