Despite close competition Tim gets this week's prize for most hostile

It certainly wasn't intended to be. I was under the impression I was
being factual and helpful.

Given the multiple nasty-grams back from the OP, however, NOW I'm

He asked a question, you gave a civil reply to which he responded with
hostility. Is that clearer?

Sorry if my sentence structures are convoluted or ambiguous, they make

I do a considerable amount of writing in my professional career. It
doesn't matter how clear you are, _someone_ will misunderstand. And it
doesn't matter how clear you _think_ you are, every once in a while
you'll get it entirely wrong.
