3. Indeed. It is really foolish to post such dribble without making it absolutely clear you are

Quite frankly some here might wonder if you were doing so INTENTIONALLY to troll us. Given two long- term DUers have tried to help you and given you constructive advise HOW to AVOID such confusion that you intentionally ignored, it would be understandable.

And felt that others might not. I have a lot more faith in others. I can’t imagine it not being fully understood.

I’m ok with your insinuation that I’m a troll.

Have a great day.

Very kind.

I don’t travel in circles that would be confused by this. I consider that to be the case on DU as well.

About 10 seconds later I was on a jury for an alert claiming that these were right wing talking points.

Sometimes that twitchy alert finger just can't wait until the second sentence.
