As long as people are proposing new forum rules, may I propose that we introduce a "Wait five minutes before responding" rule, to give each poster time to make a few edits to their post before you go jumping down their throat about it? I don't always manage to say it exactly right the first time. Pressing the Submit button seems to trigger some kind of heightened awareness that allows me to catch things I hadn't noticed before - overly emphatic modifiers, for example.
That said, Stephen, I don't think I'm the one who's missing the point.
