You took "I expect it to behave this way" as meaning "it is not a bug."?
As some kind of affront or something? I didn't see it at all that way.
Like I said, we may just use the software differently and never came
across this inconsistency. Po-tay-to, po-tah-to,to-may-to, to-mah-to: bug
or inconsistency. I didn't see anyone say you shouldn't report it after
some people did confirm it happened to them, too. Yet you came back
demanding a response and claiming you could get 100% agreement from some
other list somewhere, which to me is bullying: "See, 100% of these people
agree, you must be crazy if you don't."

The message you sent seemed over the top and rude, so I responded in
kind. If you truly didn't mean it that way, then I do apologize, also,
for my hyperbole. But I will stand by my assertion that demanding an
explanation from people, and belittling them with statements amounting to
"everyone else believes this, so why don't you get on the stick and
believe me, too!" are really not needed, no matter how curious you are
about someone's thinking. A simple "I don't agree" is just better
overall. (And apparently would keep me out of trouble, too. :) )

Yes, "weeks" was hyperbole, too. The thread might have been 4 days, but
it felt like weeks. :)
