Pardon, but i was responding to Mr. Wesley, as I had
missed the thread in which he had made the statement,
and was quite sure he would read THIS thread as well.
I was not responding to you. Perhaps YOU should read
posts more carefully before assuming that something is
aimed at you that isn't. You seemed rather eager to take
the finger that wasn't pointed at you.
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.
That's a problem I have too, sorry folks.
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?
I missed the whole show. I'm on the other side of the planet so a few
hours of flame war goes unnoticed as I sleep. Sorry if I have caused any
friction but I can't see that much excess heat in the war. ;-)
Gag me with a spoon!
