Star, my point is that YOU, personally, don't feel that way. I'm quite sure of that.

I did misread both comments. As a former teacher of English, I would ask that each of you take more time before you hit the "post" button.

East, you clearly did not use any antecedent for the word, "that." Star, you clearly did not punctuate your sarcasm so that it could be understood as sarcasm. I don't mean to sound petty or be part of the grammar police, but I did not perceive Star's comment to be "clearly sarcasm." I would never have responded the way I did if I had.

I do believe that Star's comment concerning the 1000 years of recovery after an atomic attack is part of what I was addressing.

I'll go back to my reading and sit quietly from now on. Please forgive me. (This last paragraph is sarcasm.)

You said -- "Star, my point is that YOU, personally, don't feel that way. I'm quite sure of that."

You are correct. You read the previous comments correctly. I'm not sure why the other person was getting it wrong. Who knows...

Best regards,
Star Traveler
