      [continued from previous message]              When I first dropped my said post, one of the lines did not break       at the correct point and instead continued along the entire width       of the screen, putting it out of place with all of the other lines.       So when I saw this I took the time and effort to correct same       by redoing the post and then deleting the former flawed one,       see?               I always use groups.google.com to interface alt.anagrams       and I look at posts directly rather than receive them via my       email account. Thus unfortunately if I repost to make an       improvement or correction those persons who have chosen       to receive posts via their email account will see it at least       twice. Perhaps these persons, and yourself, might consider       to switch to looking at the posts directly rather than via an       email account?               As far as              > Constructive criticism=       > Victim counters critics              I would say that in general this is a great and worthwhile find, but       I would think the presentation would need to be              "Constructive" criticism =       Victim counters critics               [In other words, the criticism wasn't really constructive, and       [the victim of same counters the critics.              and              Constructive criticism =       "Victim" counters "critics"              [In other words, the criticism was constructive, but the target       [does not receive it as such and thus sees themself as being       [a victim when they really are not and thus sees the progenitors       [as being critics when they really are not.              I have applied here the writing technique of putting a word or phrase       within quotation marks to mean that the word or phrase is facetious,       so-called, not really so. Such a technique is called Scare Quotes.              Thank you again.              Debra Dee Freeman              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
