She asked a question, and you are taking the answer out of context.

Words taken out of context are even more worthless than words

taken 'in context' :-).

That's a judgment I won't bother with. If it seems that way

to " Sandeep, " so be it :-).

The topic was raised in a series of postings. Any perceived denial

or affirmation should at minimum be taken in the context of the

entire conversation!

An assertion which you are " asking me to agree with. " I don't agree

or disagree, but accept your 'assertion' as your own point of view.

Sounds almost like a threat (?).

How seriously you take words! As though the words themselves are

what they point to, as if the word " telephone " could be used to make

a call with :-).

 

Cheers,
