Have you ever heard of "context"? Given the context in which I wrote
my previous message, it is clear to whom I was referring. You
certainly understood it. I'm sure most people who bothered to read my
post did. If you don't have a clue, you need to get one.

And why, pray-tell, should I care what people on talk.bizarre or
misc.misc care?

I wasn't refering to your grammar, but your rant's content--or lack
thereof. Spewing vitriol in defense that the following sentence is
grammatical is ridiculous:

Your age is showing. Who is David Longley, what does he have to do
with the issue at hand, and why should I care?

Your "response" isn't one. In particular, a course of action's lack
of effectiveness does not entail suspension of such a practice.

I take it you're on talk.bizarre? That makes some sense. Well, I can
assure you, I'm not posting from misc.misc. I suggest that if you're
going to use a single sample of a person's behavior with which to
judge them, to make sure that the sample actually supports your
conclusion. Or you might want to try to follow your own advice to me.
