Friends,
It is written here something like about that posting about what someone wrote and saying in the subject line that you are responding to what is written by that member.
The rule reads that,[...directing either the subject line or the body of the post [to them] is the criteria that is diierentiating as to if you are posting {to them} or responding to what is in the post. The rule then says that,[...Replying to posts [by someone], which are the {aspects} of that post, is not necessarily {posting} >to them<...].(for you are responding to what is written, not to the poster)
If you notice my posts, I do not use the word {reply}, but the word {respond}, because I am not replying to the {person}, but responding to the >aspects< of what the person wrote, not directing my {response} to {them}.
I am sorry if anyone thinks that I am directing a post to them if I write that I am {responding to aspects of what they wrote}. I think that the purpose of the rule is to prohibit others from directing statements directly to a poster who does not want dialog with you,like asking them to clarify something that they wrote, and that one can still respond to what those members post by not posting on the body that the post is to them. That is why I have my posts start with "friends", not the poster's name, of the content that I am responding to. When someone uses my name to direct a post to me, then I {reply} by putting in my subject line, [... Lou's {reply} to ...] so as to differentiate that my post is either a reply to them or a response to aspects of what they wrote.
My sinceree aplogies to anyone that does not want to have dialog with me who thought that I was wanting to have dialog with them when they have a desire to exclude me from replying to them. I have tried my best to work within the rules here and thought that I was doing so in oreder to accomodate those that do not want me to post to them.
