In fact the whole POINT is to not only reject what the other person said, but to do so visibly so as to steer the debate back on point [insults deleted] Wrong! In what way does that response steer the debat back on point? Well, since this branch of the thread no longer contains ANY of the original debate, it should simply terminate. Thus my reply had a low radar cross-section and a Followup-To so that if someone WAS dumb enough to reply to it despite its lack of substance, it would be trapped and killed in some other newsgroup like rec.antiques and meanwhile back in rec.arts.tv the discussion of the original debate could continue more productively without OT distractions. And guess what -- it worked! Subject  Re: First New Fall Show to Be Canned  Re: First New Fall Show to Be Canned
