No harm done. I did recently have an experience (nothing to do with groff) where someone really did recast my words to be more offensive (like I need the help) and put quotation marks around them--this to make a case for their intense perturbation with me. I'm not impressed when someone works themselves into a snit, draws me a map of how they did so, including factors not under my control, and then holds me solely responsible for their state of upset. > > > I was just light-heartedly paraphrasing what I tend to think in > > > similar situations when I am not sure if something is deliberate > > > or a mistake on the author's part. > > > > And likewise, I was light-heartedly suggesting you were being > > heavy-handed. ;-) > > I will consider being more cautious in my replies to you in the > future.. :) Caution is not mandatory.
