I was talking to you (Brent), and I was pointing out that Stathis
gave an example of the kind of thing that it would be helpful if you
said it, but you responded by complaining that he was incorrectly
saying something you never said. He wasn't.<br>
<br>
It looked to me as if you'd not realised that he was giving an
example, rather than quoting you, and reacted accordingly.<br>
<br>
I then pointed out that this is a problem when trying to have a
conversation that makes any sense at all.<br>
