My dear D-fendr,

When you say:
it's best to read the thread before making accusations.
you may inadvertently be breaking the rule against mind reading. IF one sought to advance the conversation toward the truth, THEN it would be best to do as you say. But not only do we not know what the interlocutor intends but we have ample evidence that real, useful conversation is not the object of the act.

the interesting question is what is the object?

True dat.

The interesting question is what is the object?

Unfortunately pondering that is against the rules too.

:)

Thanks for your reply.
