I said exactly what I said.  You can always take what I say and interpret
it as something different, if that pleases you.  If you can't detect the
difference in tone and meaning between the quote and the paraphrase that
you supplied, then please refrain from paraphrasing me.

This also isn't an appropriate place to discuss a knee injury that I had
some ten years ago, or whether my nose itches, or how the TRS-80 did
graphics.  A few short comments aren't a problem, but if people started
seeing long tirades about my nose, that would not be appropriate to the
list.  It doesn't matter whether you are for or against my nose (or its
itching).  If I disregarded that, I would expect to be directed to look up
an alt. newsgroup for itchy noses.
