Now this really is getting ridiculous. I'm supposed to memorize the idiosyncracies of every poster's typographical habits in order to infer what they mean by their posts? So if I had used single quotes instead of double quotes, everything would be peachy? I transposed them because most people don't place your particular connotation on single versus double quotes, and therefore I saw 'em as interchangeable.

Go check every single one of my posts on the Cellar. I use indented bold blockquotes when I want to quote someone's words and then remark on them, not double quotes. I use double quotes for paraphrasing. But if you would have done your homework and studied my posting semantics, you would have known that and we wouldn't have had this discussion. Boy, you must feel embarassed right now for making such a silly mistake.
