Oh, for God's sake, Robert.

Now I am supposed to anticipate your question prior to posting. I
am not just sure how I am going to be able to do that, because you
can come up with some real after-the-fact doozies.

Below, so everyone can see how petty you have become, is - for at
least the fourth time - exactly what I wrote that set you off:

Do note that I didn't say anything about citing your sources.
Surely you will want to call everyone's attention to that horrible
oversight.

Tell you what. I have a better idea. Instead of you spending your
time figuring out what's wrong with what I _didn't_ say, why don't
you just get a life?
