Never mind that in the bit that Steve quoted to flippantly inquire on what

I didn't answer Steve.

Nope, you just provided the appropriate tag to latch on.

Of course, that type of incivility is part of the reason why historically
(a number of) sci.langers hold aueers (by default) in some measure of
contempt.

 
Which kind of incivility do you mean? The change of subject?

If you lot can read Steve's original reply to Aidan in anything other than
an utterly uncalled for rude tone, there's little that can be gained from
this conversation.
