   Yes, I understood that.  In this, as in many cases, I post articles
   from my smartphone, which doesn't make it easy to add my own comments,
   at least if they are long.  That is why I frequently add a short
   comment saying, "Jim Bell's comment:".
    When I read the material I'd posted once it appeared on CP, even
   before your own comment, I realized that it was ambiguous as to who
   wrote "An appeals court ruling..."
                       Jim Bell
