Of course context is important. You incorrectly claim my statement ruled out context. As surely as there is a reason to say "consider the source (a specific consideration vs the more generalized and inclusive "context")," there is reason to say "don't shoot the messenger (again, a specific consideration)." I've not failed to consider the source, I've merely recognized that the logic of a message in context is happily not dependent on the messenger. On the other hand, you've shot the messenger with both barrels while giving zero attention to the message, in posts to me. Perhaps your spirited words attacking me (yet more "messenger murder" rather than message analysis), are more self revealing than you appreciate. Well, I'm quite sure of it, but that's just me thinking aloud. VBG I'm glad to hear I've stumbled into a lofty discussion league here with you. I always feel I should play with folks who are better players than I am. I think anyone can learn more that way. Dan B.
