Greetings again, Mr. Leak,

Mr. Lawrence has already spoken rather eloquently on this point. However, tell 
you what. I'll work on my over eager fickle finger of accusation if you try 
working on your addressing skills.

You will note that I often address whom I'm responding to very clearly, usually 
at the beginning of any post I make. It helps avoid potential confusions as to 
whom my comments are actually being addressed to.

I think you may have missed the fact that I created a brand new subject thread 
where I quoted a statement from Mr. Wesley. In my brand new subject thread Mr. 
Wesley has NEVER MADE a direct contribution to it, so how can you assume that 
everyone would naturally understand that your comments were actually addressed 
to him?

Quite frankly, I would have offered up a sincere public apology had you 
received both Mr. Wesley's post and mine, AND that both posts were made in the 
same subject thread. However, as you have stated, at the time of your post you 
had ONLY received MY follow-up post, and not Mr. Wesley's. That's because Mr. 
Wesley has, so far, not made any follow-up posts to my new subject thread. 
Again, how do you assume that everyone would naturally take your comments as 
directed at Mr. Wesley?

I therefore feel justified in repeating: Please read my posts more carefully, 
and respond accordingly

As Mr. Lawrence as already suggested, simply addressing whom your comments were 
meant for would have alleviated a lot of confusion you are directly responsible 
for creating.

Goodness gracious me! Did I just start a flame war?

Gag me with a spoon!
