Another case of selective quoting. Doesn't change the meaning too much, but

Upset? OH NO! NOT THE CAPSLOCK! ANYTHING BUT THE CAPSLOCK! AAARRGGHHH!

Once again, you respond only to my sarcastic comments instead of the meat of
the post in which I set forth the possibility that perhaps OTHER PEOPLE
(interesting concept to you, I'm sure) would be interested, not necessarily
just you... Even thought you said something about 'not reinventing the wheel'
in an earlier post.

Wasting time? Obviously I didn't waste quite enough of your time by FORCING you
to read the post, because you wasted a few more minutes by replying to it.
That, of course provoked a response from me. Perhaps if time conservation is
such an important issue here, you shouldn't be taking the time to write the
software yourself.

You must be tired, if that's the best you can do. Take a nap.
