Agreed, but this case you needn't have worried.

I know you didn't (and I knew that at the time).  But your message did provoke 
the thought that it I might've offended Robert O'Boyle or Bill Harris in recent 
threads, or in general my direct interlocutors when I post detailed messages.  
I realized it might not always be obvious that I try to write for a broader 
audience, so I decided to publicize that fact, lest overly detailed reply 
(ostensibly) to a veteran Jer provoke offense (for exactly the misinterpretive 
reasons you mention).  But at no time was I offended.

Yep, and its public URL is at [1].

You know, we really should form F^4; we are like-minded.  I was writing a 
followup to Tracy's remark when yours came in, in which I was preparing to 
quote & describe the trains table as well.  I regret that it was decommissioned 
before I had a chance to (ab)use it.

PS: BTW, the quotes in your message are coming out weird and messing up the 
format of your text.  Are you using a "smart quote" feature?  Outlook, Word, 
and some web interfaces (using RTF browser toolbars) turn these on by default.  
I've never found them helpful (but then I'm not a typesetting nazi either).
