No, you weren't suggesting that. Perhaps you *intended* to suggest it, but you certainly didn't supply enough information for what you actually said to remotely suggest that as the most natural reading. It would have helped if you'd split Pierz's comment at the point you were responding to (or bolded the relevant part), since the most natural assumption is that when you have an entire paragraph followed by a response, the response refers to the main point made in the paragraph. It certainly isn't natural to assume that you were just picking out one small aspect of what Pierz was saying, and ignoring the rest. Perhaps you could consider taking to heart what I've said about you not being very clear, and make a bit more effort? Then people won't think you're just sniping. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
