Sure it does. 10 (an awful lot) > 1 (at least one).

Are you sure English is your native language.

Yes, I am sure.

Then how can you write such nonsense as the above ??

It may seem like nonsense to someone as unfamiliar with the English language as you are, but I assure you, it is not.

I keep saying "X usually indicates one of A, B, or C" and you keep posting "Harold is an idiot, he keeps saying that X indicates A!" when that simply is not true.

But you say that X indicates A when W.

That is not the same thing as saying that X indicates A.

True.

So you concede that you've been attacking a straw man. Good. The first step is admitting you have a problem.

Look at me. I am calm, collected, and rational. The more you insult me, the more I calmly and patiently explain why you're wrong about me and politely request that you desist from your hostile and inexplicably rude behavior.

I'm a model citizen compared to you, with your blustery temperamental attitude, brutish brow-beating tendencies, thuggish behavior, terrible grammar, tendency to push threads off-topic, and bulldog tenacity in trying to "kill" whoever you don't like.

Yes, it is rather as if I stepped into a parlor, tried to participate in a civilized discussion, and then someone's Rottweiler started snarling, chasing me around, and trying to take chunks out of the seat of my pants. (So, maybe someone should put you on a leash! Or not let you into the parlor in the first place.)

I think your definition of "rational" and "model citizen" differ a bit
from other peoples.

They certainly seem to differ from yours.

But the facts speak for themselves. I'm not the one engaging in name-calling. I'm not the one engaging in straw man arguments. I'm not the one whose primary form of argument is the personal attack. I'm not the one who is apparently not here to discuss Java at all.
