A thing that is not in question does not need "clarification". Therefore taking this kind of "precaution" when making an uncontroversial post about a boring technical matter is to imply that the person mentioned is irrational and unreasonable. To make that kind of accusation against someone, even if implicitly, is an insult and I don't see why they shouldn't be offended, and the bogusness of hiding the accusation behind an un-called-for apology compounds that insult with hypocrisy. >> Wow.

Now you're being paranoid. It's your email handle, you chose it. All he did was use it to refer to you, and in an entirely literal straightforward and matter of fact way. > And you ask why your name popped up!? Yep, and now I'm asking, because I don't believe that something that happens later in time can be the cause of something that occurred earlier in time, so I don't believe that his referring to you as "Garbage Collector" in the third post could have caused his name to "pop up" in the first post. Indeed, it didn't "pop up", as if it just did so all by itself. *You* introduced it without any prior context or necessity. And to respond to *that* IS rational and reasonable. >> If you want to make out-of-the-blue observations about me then this >> is not the mailing list for it. >> >> cgf > > ... and there you had more blobthrowing.
