13 Misquoting someone is one of the worst "flaws" that one can do on a
14 discussion. This is the basis to "putting words in somone's mouth".
15 If you felt that the other party add left something important out, there
16 are ways to present that and to make it clear to anyone reading it. []
17 seems to be a usual way to add missing words. When adding a few sentences,
18 one should add a note about that.

29 I believe at this point most people consider this discussion to have
30 reached the "ad nauseam" stage, so can all of you please catch a breath
31 and take a break before sending more emails about the same?
