- Note that how you understand articles doesn't depend only on the
- writer, but also on reader.
-
- How I should understand what you write above:
- "...after reading Mr. Kouhia's very polite, very helpful reply..."
-
- What you mean? You surely wrote opposite ideas via e-mail.
-
- I specially wrote that the article was supposed to take seriously,
- not as yet another flame as you did.
-
- In my article I wrote:
- -what is good to write first (and pointed out that author didn't
- write as expected)
- -I wrote where the problem was, so that the author can locate it
- and understand what I mean
- -I wrote an example what kind of announce to not write; the example
- was a bad case, so that people can understand the problem better
- (from a less bad examples the main problems may not be visible, thus a
- bad example)
- -and finally, I requested to write the description for L-system;
- however, I didn't write it myself, because I don't have any references
- and it is not a good idea to write an inaccurate description
-
- So, as you can see it was attemp to help.
- Always, when people write a reply to correct something and directly
- point out that the author was wrong, the reply is a sort of flame
- (it is just how people understand what is a flame).
-
- But think about if I really had written a flame?
- What kind of that had been?
