Sure is. Thanks.

On the contrary, I was giving all the wise buddha-l readers every benefit of 
the doubt, and was distinctly indicating that they are not philistines. What 
I said was:

> >Only a philistine would fail to recognize this is pulled out of
> >context ...

That assumes everyone would recognize it is out of context, since they are 
not philistines. Sorry if the rhetorical usage was misleading. What I was 
suggesting was that the pillorying of an out of context message for being 
out of context would have to have been done by someone who thought the 
readership was sufficiently philistine to be fooled by that ploy.
