Greg, you have the oddest style I have ever seen from someone who claims he
does not wish to be misunderstood.  Perhaps you would not need to defend your
positions so much if you would simply follow these simple steps:

1)  Read your post BEFORE you send it.
2)  Read the ENTIRE post you are responding to, prior to responding.

In this case, Stujoli covered the exact point you make here:

Now I come along and read your response to his post.  I am forced to draw the
conclusion that:

You did not read his entire post.
You did not like seeing someone make an intelligent suggestion.
Your real fear is that someone will attach an [I] to YOUR posts.
or
You had no argument to make against his post, so you figured you would correct
him on something that really did not need to be corrected, figuring if you only
posted a small portion of his post no one owuld notice.

In fact, the only part of his post I found objectionable was his attempt to get
us all to sign up for the Pratchet NG.  Have you ever read his books?  The man
does not even use chapters!
