 By selectively quoting only the above remark from your post, I
 originally intended to point out what sounds to me like completely
 unjustified vengefulness on your part. And I thought that was obvious.
 
 Also, in my thoughts, there was a bit more than I posted. There were
 lots of ad hominem attacks on Doc in your post (and many others of
 yours) that I didn't quote or refer to, even though they were a big
 part of what motivated me to post. However, I intended to keep it brief
 and as gentle as I could manage.
 
 The parts of your last post that I just clipped seem to be full of
 speculation on your part, but there's more there than I care to spend
 an hour addressing. Generally, after reading your responses to my
 posts, I have come to see you as having no idea what you are doing and
 how you are behaving. And no, I am not siding with Doc, but since he's
 taken enough of a beating from others, I don't intend to address his
 issues at all. I never would have, in fact. Flaming and argument are
 par for the course on NGs, and until something hits me as egregious, I
 normally keep my mouth shut. Well, I try to...

 To me, this remark comes from outer space. Where do you get this idea
 from? Not from anything I said, I'd venture. And not from anything I
 think, either. Are you just trying to justify your own behavior by
 trying to ascribe motivations to me?

 See the remarks interspersed above.

 No, I haven't been anywhere :-)
