So please explain how that difference applies in this particular case?

You can’t assume that because he has posted on LUGNET a few times, he is
reading or aware of anything that is going on on LUGNET.
|
I think you can assume that he is aware of whatever he replied to.
|
Conversely, you make my point. If he doesn’t reply to something, we can’t
assume he’s read it, and it would be off his radar, or as I put it,
“behind his back.” Your initial point was, because he posts now and then,
he’s around and aware of what’s going on around here.
|
No, my initial point was because he posts now and then, I THINK he is still
among the populace that reads Lugnet.
|
But you admitted that one doesn’t necessarily follow from the other, so I
don’t know why you’d think THAT.
|
Because I DO.
|
Well, my point is that you have no reason to think that.
| |

The only real way
to know if someone is a regular reader is if that person posts often
each week.
|
That’s one way, but not the ONLY way. Real or otherwise.
|
What? Consider my neighbor. Is he a regular reader of LUGNET or not?
|
Why don’t you ask him/her?
|
Why don’t you stop being obtuse and answer the question? I want to know
another way you seem to THINK there is of knowing this information. And by
“real”, I mean beyond seance, Ouija board, tarow cards, etc, and pure
speculation.
|
I’m sorry for being so obtuse - I was simply pointing out that asking them is
one other way to know (assuming you receive / believe the answer). Standing
and looking over their shoulder while they read is another. Do you want me to
go on?
|
You know my neighbor, and where we live? I chose my neighbor precisely because
you don’t know him. You don’t know anything about him. Just as you don’t
know anything about any given regular reader of LUGNET (who doesn’t post
frequently). Get it?
| |
| |
| |
| |
| |
| |
Further, merely because LUGNET is a public forum in no way means that
the entire world is privy to what is said in it.
|
Agreed. But irrelevant.
|
Then expain this statement by you: “Well I don’t think Al could get much
more public than Lugnet, do you?”
|
Now you’re starting to sound like Tom - unable to put sentences in context.
|
Actually, that’s a good thing, because Tom was otonspay. (latin variant)
|
Now who’s being obtuse.
|
No Ross, that’s ironic humor!
