- I don't find anything funny in quoting something out of context,
- from an article someone had written. Tim's contention was that although
- many people post scores on r.s.t, few post actual comments about the
- matches played. He understood that it wasn't always possible to post
- comments, but all the newsgroup readers would appreciate comments about
- matches, when posted. The imaginary match between Becker-Puthoven and the
- succeeding comment was just an example of how news posters could convey
- information. A reader who didn't read Tim's original article on the
- newsgroup would be misled into believing that such a match was actually
- played with the scores as above!!!
-
- I appreciate your postings Cordula, but when you quote articles out
- of their context, you tend to become a source of misinformation. Also,
- please change the topic to reflect your follow-up. The topic "Lendl
- withdraws from ATP" is hardly appropriate for your follow up which
- contained no mention of either the ATP championship or Lendl.
-
- Thank you,

- From a diehard Becker fan.
