If you wish a word to have meaning other than that usually used, its
wise to say so when you use it.

I repeat: at the time I wrote the above, I had *received* no such
request.

(I have since received, and replied to, it.)

I note your request and reject it.

>you have.

You would deny me the right to refute your allegations and state my
defence?

My "request", do you mean "instruction"? Again, if you wish a word to
have meaning other than that usually used, its wise to say so when you
use it.

Every single one of my e-mails to this list has that as its aim.


I shall cease posting shortly, but only because I am going to bed.
