Okay, if you are going to try and find hidden sub-text in everything . . . then there's nothing for me to say. Whatever I say will be interpreted by you to fit the construct you have already decided on, and if I attempt to clarify what I see as a misconstruction of my intent you will just say that you know better than I what I meant.
At least now, I've got it. Sorry I misread you, Dr.Phil.
As to the snarky addition to your post - maybe my friends just have higher standards of what constitutes intelligent and well-educated than you.
eta - I think we've reached the point where we should just sing "You say tomato, and I say tomato . . .let's call the whole thing off." Toodles.
