Graybeard,

Didn't mean to toss anything at you. Sorry, definitely came off the wrong way. I meant, when reading the DU post, that I couldn't be sure if the rabbit cage post on over there was intended seriously or not. I (me, myself and I) was *definitely* on the wrong website when I was on DU. The use of "you" was what my linguistic professor used to call "second person inclusive", meaning the listener, the speaker and others.

No slam towards you intended, believe me.

I understand. Thanks for the explanation.

After posting my reply it occurred, to me that you possibly meant it the way you explained it.

We are in agreement, sorry for the misunderstanding.
