When I asked "What about rule #4 do you not understand?", I was asking a
question. Possibly he didn't understand it.. maybe it is not clear enough. One
would think with the thread below, it was clear as to my thoughts on the
commercial advertising happening here.. then this thread pops up..

You are the one that believes I stated it sarcastically.. while I might have
been pissed off, I was still asking a question that I have not received an
answer on.
