There is a simple lesson that you need to learn:

When someone is responding to a post, they are responding ONLY to
the content in the posting they are responing to;  not to some
earlier posting in the same thread, not to a different posting
submitted two weeks ago, not to what you meant to say but didn't,
not to thoughts in your head but that you didn't say, but ONLY TO
WHAT IS SAID IN THE POSTING BEING RESPONDED TO.

If you can learn to follow this simple rule everyone in the
newsgroup will be better off, including you.
