Those are harsh words for such an unemotional subject, Dann :)

Anyway, I don't see why I am wrong, I haven't heard any arguments to show me
that I am wrong, and I can't imagine any argument that will make me go: "Well,
ok, that's true". It is a matter of definitions for me. A ply is well defined.
If someone wants to define some other notion (vaguely?) related to "a ply", then
fine by me, but I am sure that I will then note the distinction. A ply is a ply.
Give me an example of something that I would call a ply that is not a ply.
