Adrian, I think that we've both made our points without email
nitpicking semantics and needlessly fine points of the argument.

There definitely might have been a misunderstanding in the points
that he was trying to convey. I think that my interpretation was
more reflective of the actual text, but maybe you have pre-existing
knowledge of his position, or identify with him in some other way.
Maybe I'm just being deliberately obtuse and belligerent. :)
If you're correct, I'm hoping he'll be a little clearer and logical next time.
Thanks for the thoughtful discussion,
Chris Russo
