I don't get it, tsuwm. For the threadnodists® it's easy to se who's referring to what. For us flatliners®, the subject of the post indicates what is being referred to.

for *this flatliner it looked like this:
Faldage
Re: Different than/from
Both of these constructions have arguments for them.
AnnaStrophic
none has/none have
Yep. Both are correct. Who's gonna fire off the angry E-mail? hi Faldage

so, which are both correct... and whom were you agreeing with? (and which strip are you angry about?)

other than that, I'm just fine.

You *do have a point, tsuwm. If I'd seen Faldage's post I wouldn't have written "Yep." I shoulda quoted in blue. But I let the screen lie for a while before posting, so I can see the confusion, even though each post has a different title.

And the strip worth an angry E-mail is that which Bingley cited, noting it was a pity that the first grammatical error she finds is, in fact, not one. Bingley's the person I was agreeing with. Or either Max, one. I'm going to take an ASpirin now.
