Friends,
There are interesting things that have been written in this thread. One is that a reletivly new person to the community, Mary Bowers, sees a post by another that has sexual content. She then sees Dr. Hsiung's reply as , "Thanks".
Now Dinah knows that Dr. Hsiung replys to others that use the double quote notation for titles to Amazon with a "thanks". But verne did not think that it was clear.
The point here is that a relativly new person to the forum could have the potential to not know that DR. Hsiung replys with a "thanks" to those that use the notation for Amazon. I did not know that either untill I was here for a long time because I do not frequent the boards that quote titles to books and movies.
I belive that there are two points here. One is that not evry newcommer could know the Amazon notation for titles and that Dr. Hsiung replys with a "thanks" to those that use the notation and that Mary Bowers, being relativly new here, also apparently did not know that and thought that Dr. Hsiung was saying "thanks" for the sexual content part of the post in question. which could mean that other newcommers to the forum, or those seeing the posts for the first time , could also think the same as Mary Bowers, which is the second point.
I have always stated here many times, and Dr. Hsiung has also, that reasonable people can have misunderstandings and that misunderstandings can be cleared up. I think that this is one of those misunderstandings.
Some one said it,[...the rain falls on all that walk the same path...]
