I was laughing at the irony in your comments. You were correcting my
English in a posting that was equally at fault. Maybe I have used a few
"non-words", or "dangling participles", this is another argument. My
argument is about people being rude in this newsgroup and using RTFM.
Despite this odd thread tangent, my argument is not about English
grammar.

I agree the way I wrote it could be deemed demanding. This was only
after looking at your alternative. I said this was probably an English
second language issue but perhaps this is because I am grasping for an
excuse. I will use your approach from now on, if I pick anyone up for
posting rude comments from now on. Where we are going to continue to
disagree that I believe Mladen Gogala should not have written RTFM.
