Yes, I understood that. In this, as in many cases, I post articles from my smartphone, which doesn't make it easy to add my own comments, at least if they are long. That is why I frequently add a short comment saying, "Jim Bell's comment:".

When I read the material I'd posted once it appeared on CP, even before your own comment, I realized that it was ambiguous as to who wrote "An appeals court ruling..."
