Apparently not, since you insist on inserting your own damned meanings in the place of what the person wrote.

what a really terrific idea - you have great insight into how to participate on a forum such as this
Yes, I think that taking a person to mean what he or she writes is a great ideal.

perhaps you could give classes - or write a book! - on the subject
Or maybe you could just take Communications 101.

(by the way, the question you posed as reply to the statement made previously did not clarify anything beyond the fact that you did not respond to the post in an informative way)
Yes, well, since I asked my question in order to obtain clarification from the person to whom it was addressed, I think it is pretty damned idiotic of you to make such a statement!

A panda walks into a cafe. He orders a sandwich, eats it, then draws a gun and fires two shots in the air.

"Why?" asks the confused waiter, as the panda makes toward the exit. The panda produces a badly punctuated wildlife manual and tosses it over his shoulder.

"I'm a panda," he says at the door. "Look it up."

The waiter turns to the relevant entry and, sure enough, finds an explanation.

"Panda. Large black-and-white bear-like mammal, native to China. Eats, shoots and leaves."
