Are you sure you're replying to right post? I ask, because nothing I see in yours can be seen as reply to mine -- it actually repeats my point.

joe's reply clarified things somewhat - at least for me. Are replies always supposed to be rebuttals?

It turns out to be so. If a reply is not a rebuttal, it is usually preceded with something like "To clarify, ..." or "I wanted to add, that ...". I just got confused without it.

I felt the need to state what I thought was the case. Maybe originally it was a rebuttal but you don't disagree, feel free to take it as a clarification.
