   The post to which I was responding (and mildly objecting)   
   was made after the differences in usage had already been   
   made clear; I was not talking about her original post.  But   
   on further consideration I do think that the quotation marks   
   in Sea Wasp's post might reasonably have suggested that   
   there might be more there than meets the eye, or at the very   
   least that he might not be speaking in his own voice.
