Dr. Hsiung, In accordance with your procedure to remind you after 2 days of a request from me to you that you have not addressed to me as of yet, the following .
In this thread, I had requested a determination from you as to the acceptability of the use of the idiom,[...Please, please take anything dancingstar says with a grain of salt...] as written by a poster about what dancing star wrote here.
One poster wrote in the thread that they thought that the meaning of the idiom was to {not take seriously} what was said, in this case by dancingstar. Could that have the potential, in your thinking, to also mean that the use of the idiom could also mean that the person that wrote the idiom was in some way encouraging one to {dismiss} what dancingstar wrote and if so, is that acceptable here to write such about what another poster wrote here? If you have addressed my requst to you about the use of the idiom toward dancingstar, could you post to me the URL?
