No. It is a common thing, on the Internet, for people to misinterpret
statements. I stand by my wording and syntax. If you want someone to
answer a question using lots of polite and flowery phrases, then say
something like:
"I have a question about Olympia, but my feelings are easily hurt, so
if you answer, please make sure that you use flowery phrases, or
else lots of other people will flame you for helping."
Given the mood of this mailing list, I'm going to only answer rules
questions in private from now on. I've had it with all the stupid
sniping.
