Do you think anybody can make heads or tails from this text where you removed all references to context without even marking these changes? It was a very bad idea to edit this text in such a way. Crippeling my text in such a way is something which makes me actually really angry. It gives the words a different meaning, and I will not accept this. Why don't you simply provide a reference to the respective postings in the list archives, so everybody can actually understand what you are talking about?
