> I was merely attempting to illustrate why I thought you might have received the response you did. Oh, that's completely unnecessary. When I said, "Don't know what you're getting at," I was hoping that the commenter understood something that I didn't. > That's probably a good argument. That's not what you replied with though. If you had, I don't think you would have gotten the response you did. This is a good illustration of why the guidelines are there in the first place. Comment #1 was the weaker argument, comment #2 was the stronger comment. If you have a discussion with someone, you can get from comment #1 to #2 and beyond. Telling me that if I had written comment #2 first is... not helpful! Because the process of writing comment #2 involved reading replies to comment #1!
