[J. T. Toad]

you address me directly, and sign salutations as 'your pal'?

It seems that your impression of my comprehension skills is not the only one lacking in logic or interpretation.

Might you be happier if I were to have responded with a 'won't be'?

Sheepish quoting out of context makes this dialog loose all substantive value.

My challenge to makes this country a better place by the simple statement of 'was' has turned into a semantic battle. Nice.
