I'd like to add a reaction to this part of your posting also: Of
course it's distorted! But not trying to detect rules tells us even
less. It is as if you are demanding me to make a deliberate mistake
in my extraction of rules, just to make them look more human and
less robot-like. Now, when I have inadvertently done that or I have
not cared to block a false reading of my words, readers of the list
have come at me like wolves. So the market demands precision and
lack of it at the same time. So much for the market.
