If this is really your response to my comment about passing judgement,
then you get the award for 'consistantly missing the point'. (again)

We are talking about two completely different things. It's one thing
to express disinterest in a thread, its another to expect them to stop
cause you don't like it.

Rather than bothering to have this conversation with you *again*, just
read the archives. We went through this last time.

Some people *just might* see the use of sarcasm to figuratively
illustrte a point, and 'putting words in someones mouth' as different.
