That'S why I now sometimes chose to not even answer anymore to somebody. Not because it is that somebody, but because I see it outlined already in his reply where it would lead.
In German we say "von Stöcksken zu Hölzken", by meaning it translates into "from small pieces to even smaller pieces". It means to get lost and frittered first over sentences two postings ago, then over words five postings ago, and in the end over single syllables and punctuation in a different thread. The original argument then already plays no more role anymore - since long.
