Marco,

With all due respect, you made a huge mistake and omission here. I think 
you were to polite and try to be politically correct.

No offense would have been taken if the full truth would have been put 
forward here. The above should have read:

"Got to love that the non-native speaker *with the comprehension of a 12 
years old* has to point that out."

Very big different here! But again, a higher lever of understanding is 
needed to get it too! (I could have said educations, but that most 
likely would have been to harsh)

It does however bare the more important meaning and question for Richard 
extreme flexibility to play with words and change their usage and 
meaning at will. It may actually not be a gift that I am welling to 
grant him, but a lack of understanding and proper usage of them. I don't 
know. I am welling to give the man the benefit of the dough here.

However, it bring even a much more important and sensitive question.

What is really the level of comprehension  and understanding of 
Richard's blind supporters and/or defenders at any cost? Can it be any 
higher, can it? Or wouldn't they be stock in the same space. Note, I 
really couldn't be as mean as saying any lower. I can't think as being 
fare saying that.

Might be very dangerous to associate oneself with this men then! If one 
self estime, ego and persona as well as one public image is important to 
them, or one is not fully in peace and confident with it's straight and 
weakness... It could be very psychologically damaging I guess.

That said without intention to offend anyone, but again, may be they 
wouldn't understand what I meant either. Or if they do, I sure can 
always excuse it on my low level of English comprehension right! (;> If 
it works for Richard's I can't imagine it wouldn't work for me would it?

I think this out to be the full explication of this tread, why and how 
it started.

Best regards,

Daniel
