You are a dishonest lying baboon!

I originally wrote and you deleted:

What you have implied is that there is some official standard that Agent does not conform with. You have yet to substantiate that.

... and it is that to which you responded. Notice my use of the word 'implied'.

Sandman
"imply" is somthing *I* do, "infer" is something *YOU* do. I didn't imply any such thing. Do you know how I know? Because I made the claim. You inferred it, and then claim I failed to substantiate something you only inferred.

Here we go again. Popinjay seems to think that he cannot imply something unless he intended to imply it. That is completely incorrect.

It is what he writes that results in the implication, not what he is thinking when he writes it. An implication can be made deliberately or without any intent at all. It can be made knowingly or inadvertently.

"Because I made the claim" does not mean that the claim does not imply something. It's a completely irrelevant statement regarding what might have been implied. -- Tony Cooper - Orlando FL
