Quite frankly, your message is a screed.
Don't like the QSO? Swish the vfo.
Before you go, though.. would you please define "screed"?
Never mind. I'll look it up m'self.
Ah, here we go...
Webster defines it as:

So, my message, you're saying, is a lengthy discourse, or an informal
peice of writing? I suppose that's true.
Let's not forget, we're -amatuers-. We are -not- professionals. I'm
sorry you don't think my message meets your standards, but Brian is
the person who would make -that- decision, and since it was he and I
in an exchange and he didn't say anything about it, I'd say he didn't
have a problem with it.
That -you- have a problem with it doesn't mean my message was
correct, either. If I offended you in some manner, then don't read
my messages in the future.
Unless Brian says he's got a problem with what and how I write, I'll
continue in the same manner as I have now, lo these many years.
Thanks for playing. Youv'e been a wonderful contestant.

You might want to read the message again, David, or are you really
-trying- to be that 'obtuse'?
Don't like it? Don't read it.
NEXT!
