My point exactly.  It's interesting to see that if the "shoe is on the
other foot", you support the kind of response that attempts to "correct
misrepresentations".  However, when they concern *you*, you're very
quick (as are a number of others here) to view that as a "personal
attack" (and then respond as if it were).

The same can be said of some of *your* comments.

The same can be said of some of *your* comments.

So it's "OK" for Marc to do this, but not others...  Interesting.

Interesting tactic.  I think it's called "hit and run".  I also think
it's cowardly (and that's *not* a flame).
