    Sorry about that. This is something like Poe's Law here. I was not giving a demand, I was being ... well ... sarcastic wouldn't be accurate ... hmmm ...

    Ever had a friend nudge you, while saying, "Come on ... come one."

    Humorous and friendly was what I was aiming for, but without a smiley I couldn't properly convey it.

    For example, though. I read your response, and you might have intended it as more of an "calm" "matter-of-fact" tone, but I can't help but read it as you are furious with me - "How dare that ***hole demand I read his crappy writing" - and am afraid I just lost a friend.

    My bad. I wouldn't demand anyone to read anything.
