I do not think guidance is inappropriate. I think dragging guidance out
to more than 1 or 2 posts to the point where it becomes a huge argument
is inappropriate.

My reply was obviously misunderstood...I did not mean "yelling"
literally. I meant that I was unsurprised that you commented on the
off-topic nature of my post. If that was not clear (David seems to have
understood it that way, at least), then I apologize. I also apologize
for the "they're all gone" post...it was posted in the wrong group. I
would have set the follow-ups from the original post to .market, but I
was correct in assuming that there would be .trains related replies.

I agree on that point. I'd rather avoid a brawl entirely though. There
really wasn't any reason for you to reply to my rebuttal, (nor was there
much reason for my rebuttal in the first place).
