I am showing you how the structure of your replies is self-contradictory. The contents I sniped were the supporting arguments for the line I did not snip. Me: While <...> VCR. You: My point exactly Me: Then your point is wrong. You: Exactly. Your placement of the word 'exactly' indicates that you think that I am right about you being wrong. By reading further, I learn that this is not true (no surprise here;-). This is a very bad form when presenting an argument. I am perfectly willing to explain all of this in more detail via private email if you wish.
