Excuse me, Peter, but I am not interested in any kind of
I'm-right-you're-wrong pissing contest. I am not interested in the
word "distort" or in bandying it back and forth with you. I will

to assist, productively and courteously, in an effort to rewrite the
definitions so that they are both useful and accurate. That has been
my position all along.
