Ok, I know my sentiments on the calls are already lodged, so I'll skip right to trying to perform the above. It really isn't easy, because it may be more the principle than the words that is being referred to, but I'll try:
"What I meant was the times that it has appeared to me that posting goes on above and below a person who is attempting to participate, while a thread is in progress. Please know that I didn't mean to say that I think people should remember to come back to every thread they've been on and may be done with, just to check."

Also, please note that I do believe now that the whole original matter should just be retired as a friendly "agree to disagree" situation. As it should be, bountiful viewpoints and possibilities have been provided by all camps, and have been appreciated. I really don't want or need to continue with it at all, or if anyone else does it looks like it may be better done in another format. At this point or at some point, if possible, I just wanted some help understanding application of the rules.
