And there's the rub.  You (over-)trimmed my message to remove the part
where I said exactly the same thing (I'll do it as long as its in the
guidelines).  Makes me look more of a fool than I am.  Maybe you didn't
think it was relevant what I wrote.  I do.

This is an example of why I don't follow the obsessive approach to trimming.
