I think what was meant was what was said. I saw nothing in either end of
that exchange that bore the slightest spark of creativity. Both sides were
tired, old cliches which had nothing to do with the topic of this list.
Neither side even demonstrated particularly clear, lucid writing.
Unless, of course, this was all intended as an example of what *not* to do. :{>}
Have Fun,
