Do you agree with that?  Or is there something more to making two types
be incompatible?

My comment wasn't meant as a criticism, but only a suggested
improvement.  I'm sorry if it came across differently.

Also the comment was not meant as a statement about you but about
the style of the posting.  It's about wording, not about you
personally.

and adding nothing to the actual discussion.

The discussion died out weeks ago.  Why would you resurrect it?

I had no intention of resurrecting a discussion.  I responded
