It's not obvious, so I'd better make it explicit.  I replied with .1
after .0 was deleted except for the title.

Now, back to your regularly scheduled dead air.

    Is "Well said, except "disjunctive" was misspelled" well said ...
    
    I wonder ?  It looks to me like a "that" is missing, since the
    exception is a phrase.

    I had just finished reading a loooooooooong proposal and was not

    (or no) reference to the real world.

This is certainly one of the most puzzling topics that I've seen today.

Truly opaque.  Yes, definitively, opaque.  The paragon of opacity.  The nadir
of transparency.  Utterly unseethroughable.

Wook,

sorry to be a bit pedantic here, but do you really believe such a clear
statement is appropriate in this topic? I mean: considering the topic, couldn't
you just say:


errr....


... or something like that?
