i'm refering specifically to this thread - http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=385626
not only was the title changed, it was changed to something i didn't ask. it's probably not worth getting bothered by (and i certainly don't have issues with those involved. far from it...), but i have this thing about being misrepresented. i don't wish to be a pain in the butt, but if at all possible, i would prefer to have my threads/posts deleted rather than changed to something i did not write (although, i'd prefer neither). thanks.

Hi fuscia,

Your opinion and desires are duly noted. I understand what you are saying.

Is there anything else we can do for you with this? :)

The reason for the thread in question was very obscure, I had no idea what it was about.

A friendly suggestion fuscia make your threads clearer and this sort of thing may not happen

how about a cold beverage?

kiwi, i understand you thought it was confusing, but i have trouble seeing it as anything other than hit oneself over the head obvious. one man's garbage is another man's lawn art.

Do you like horchata (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horchata)? I do...here, give it a try.

No offense was intended. Their motives were actually good ones. Sorry it kind of backfired this time.

that looks like something you don't want to get trashed on. ice creamy, is it?

i'm sure their intentions were good and i do appreciate that intent. i just have a weird thing about the way i word things. i know this is odd to most people, but i would rather it be mine and be misunderstood. stubborn, i guess.

as long as you bring it up, it's still not clear. it should be something along the lines of "is my hand numb from using a mouse?", as i wasn't asking who uses keyboard short cuts. (not to be picky, or anything.)
