This is in response to his sticking in a completely unwarranted statement that my post was "superfluous." Nowhere in the thread leading to it did Ian ever appear, nor did Ian ever indicate why my post was "superflyous." There was no reason that someone who posted a parallel response would be rudely intruding. He didn't even have the decency to tell me that the reason that my post was "superfluous" was that he had preempted the field in a parallel post, and he now owned the newsgroup.


It's reasonable to assume that you were addressing Ian directly,

Of course I addressed Ian directly. That I mistook him for someone who would not claim that a parallel, unreferenced message by him made all other responses "superfluous" was my error. He obviously is very rude and he obviously has no clue how newsgroups work. Why the hell are you in this at all?
