fair enough. i will remain courteous. i will not use rolling-on-the-floor-laughing smilies, or rolling-eyes smilies or sarcasm or taunts.
again you declare me unjustified. this time i will justify myself.
i never said i had any links to share, only that i knew this information to be true and felt sure you could find this information as well. if you had cared to ask where i heard it, i would have gladly said on a short mid-show news and info segment on npr while i was driving to get my license renewed. instead, you thanked me for a suggestion you did not use and with no please, you asked would you pm or post those links? and so i found one, and posted it - quite courteous to do so, i felt - with a minor reprimand for your thoughtless assumption that i could just cut and paste and that would be that. for my trouble, i gained a thanks from you with the qualification that the thanks was for my ability to substantiate my claim, not for the time i took to search, or the lengthy article i culled which was chalk full of information and sources and spokesmen which i know you prefer.
i can be as cooly polite as the next person, but i will not be shamed into feeling unjustified in giving you a proper set down for your arrogant assumption that i was substantiating a claim instead of doing you a favor. and i am too smart not to recognize veiled insults.
