Evertjan,

Too late, I just did.
Or rather, I took something you posted as an example.

Ah, I'm sorry.  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.   <said with a light sauce of sarcasm>

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.

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.

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 ?

Regards,
Rudy Wieser
