Possibly. But by no means necessarily. In my view, sometimes the way a point is
made contributes to the understanding of the point being made.

But your condescending reprimand to me contained both sarcasm and mockery,
right?
And I note that you snipped my comment on that from your reply - although I
concede that my comment on that may have used to much irony for you to
understand.

I defer to your greater expertise.
However, I note that your reprimand to me was probably off topic for .dear-lego
(where you posted it), unless it really *was* a request for clarification of my
post. I was merely redirecting to where I thought (erroneously, it seems) it was
best placed, as you had chosen not to do so.
