By your reasoning one could never have communication, because one's interpretation of any communication would be based on "speculation" of the true meaning.

The problem is,,,I never asked you, or anyone else, what the poster meant. I asked HIM. He chose not to answer. Oh well.

I don't really care what YOU think HE meant. Or I would have asked you.

Then you should have used the nifty little button marked "private reply" instead of posting to the entire list.

I "speculate" the original poster hasn't replied because he feels his views are manifest in his first post. I certainly found them so, but you evidently find them obscure enough to assume he was advocating theft. Or do I again err in my assumptions?
