Not sure, since I didn't know about the rule.

I sympathize. People are always assuming that articles I post represent my thinking. I don't know how many times I've had to explain that I posted something simply because I found it interesting for one reason or another, not because I agreed with it.

Automatically attributing the ideas in an article to the poster is an interesting, and irritating, phenomenon. It's related, I think, to the notion put forward in an article posted to me just the other day by Tim entitled "No Neutrals." I'm sure he posted that to me mostly because he recognized that it would resonate with me. I don't know whether it represents his thinking or not. He offered no comment. I wouldn't assume that it did... :/
