I was not aware that when you make an example of what someone wrote that to mention that someones name with it automatically makes it an at-hominem attack. But no, it isn't, and was not even ment as such. The only reason I mentioned your name with that example was to give Mayayana (or anyone else) a chance to easily find the context (read: the specific post) back. So don't make it sound as if it was all about *you*. It wasn't. > I don't care about your idea of intentions, because you seem to think > this NG is an helpdesk, where one should respond with an answer and > more so within the confines the OP posed. You already *know* that what you say there is (far) besides the truth. If it would have been than I could/would possibly have chewed your head off for it, and *certainly not* have responded to you trying to explain why it actually does work. > So if I think it is proper to focus on something else than your intentions, > whether I misunderstood your intentions or not [I am not your date], > or whether I misassumed your example or not, that is also not a matter > of your right of getting a response to your liking, I make you a deal: Show me where I tried to chew you out (directly or indirectly) for not having responded "in the confines of my intention"**, and I will donate a E 100,- to a charity of your choice. *Thats* how certain I am I never did so. **and no, mentioning your response together with your name to someone else in this thread does not constitute any such thing. Yes, you made a mistake (if it can even be called that). Big deal, everyone does, especially me included. But although you *could* have checked yourself before posting about it**, you did so with the best of intentions: to help me. And I accepted, and replied to it in that vein. To in turn try to help (educate) you. **though that actually did ruffle my feathers a bit ... And that makes me wonder what it is you got all riled up about ... Care to explain ?
