I then thank the person and reiterate what I understand to be their explanation to acknowledge that they had been heard.
Instead of continuing the discussion by disputing the information of the person who made the original statement, or even bothering to answer my question (possibly to say you don't agree that the 3G and 2G are different enough to warrant compatibility with one and not the other), you use my reiteration to suggest ignorance on my part, even though I began my question by stating I knew nothing about the Kindle 2G.
The only reason I can see for you to go after me rather than address Dave's response is that, in Dave's case, you don't have a history of creating pointless acrimony over ideological differences.

If any twelve-year-olds are reading this and they're tired of being blamed for the incivility of the internet, Mobile Read is a perfect argument against that stereotype. On Mobile Read, middle-aged and seventy-year-old men can be more vituperative than any twelve-year-old I've ever met. |
I'm honestly sorry you took my post that way. That wasn't my intention. I was trying to determine what was actually being stated. Which was why I added that last disclaimer sentence in case it was just a misunderstanding over Wifi vs 3G.
I still don't understand.
The only reason I didn't "go after" Dave's response (not that I felt I was "going after"
anybody) is because I didn't see anything in Dave's post that I didn't understand. I couldn't see a connection from Dave's post to your statement. That's all. So I questioned it... and kept checking back for a response.
I wasn't aware I had a "history of creating pointless acrimony over ideological differences," with you or anybody, but I guess perception is reality, so I sincerely apologize... to you and anybody else I may have inadvertently offended.
