My point is I wanted you to say that the first time.
That *is* what *Christopher* said the first time.
"My point is I wanted to hear that the first time."
* I'll come back to this in a moment..
Roedy, this underlines the problem with
ignoring who you are talking to.
You wrote to Christopher as if he had made
other posts in this thread, whereas that
was his first post.
[ Good tip as well, Christopher.. ]
If you choose to ignore who writes what,
please do not imply that any person said
any thing. I put an example above of how
you *might* have written the statement to
convey your meaning, without ascribing the
original statement to *any* person..
[ ..I hope you can see the sense of what I
am saying Roedy, it usually does not happen
to me personally, but I have regularly seen
you incorrectly ascribe the statements of others.
This is highly confusing to those who do pay
attention to who says what. So my take is,
unless you ascribe names carefully, please
trim all names completely. ]
Oh,.. and your 'wrote or quoted' bit is also
kind of nullified when you address the person
as 'you'..
