I selected comments from this thread. How is that cherry picking? I
did not go searching for especially bad posts from Jacob Navia, just
ones in this discussion.
I only wondered why Jeff P. Bailey found Richard H's posts
apparently so negative, but Jacob N's were not. Or was it Jacob is
pointedly negative? or pointlessly positive? If he has some
justification for the apparent imbalance between Jacob N and Richard H
it may be interesting to see. If he does not, then my post pointed out
what may be a false impression on his part. Either way one of us will
learn something. So let's see what Mr Bailey has to say.
