I did not misunderstand what you wrote; if I misunderstood
your intent, blame it on the deficiencies of your writing,
which are considerable. Bluntly, of the three people
posting extensively on pre-IE, you are by far the poorest
expositor in terms of clarity of organization and command of
the English language, and you have a regrettable tendency to
substitute rhetorical bluster and hyperbole for argument.
It's tiresome; worse, it makes it extremely difficult even
to begin to separate the wheat from the chaff, *especially*
for those of us with more modest backgrounds.
