Alla:

Here is what I can say without discussing specific list member ( you 
LOLOLOL) as questionaire asks and I hope you know me well enough that 
I will not lie. I will Y!M you when I am back home tonight and will 
give you very detailed answer, but sorry cannot do it here.

There is absolutely positively NO WAY the POV that you described  
will bother me. NO WAY. But again, to me it is all in the language. 
It is all in how you ( generic you) put your argument forward.

I mean, I cannot RELATE to that interpretation, there is no interest 
for me in discussing it, but NO not bothered by it.
