Yes, we all understand it was not clear to you. Nonetheless, I used the correct notation. (At least in terms of American legal usage. I'm only guessing from your hat that you may be posting from Australia; I honestly don't know if punctuation rules are the same there. If not, I'll be happy to learn what you would have done instead.)
For the record, I deleted the second half of the passage only because of length. I don't happen to agree with you that the quote seems "worse" because of the omission. The first half of the email is a straw man argument; the straw man is demolished in the second half, but a straw man is still just a straw man.
(Sorry, Top Gunner. I know you said "enough." But I'm still being accused of having done something wrong here. I'll stop now.)
You've gotten hooked on 'straw men.' Maybe if you say it enough times, it becomes one, right? :crazy:
