Back at it again eh? Taking things out of context as usual because you have an axe to grind. I'm getting mighty tired of your deliberate and not-so-deliberate misunderstandings, I assume you can read, or do you have someone to help you? Well, here goes a pointless attempt to explain. Stradivarius was brought up by Elmo in an earlier post, and is a humorous thread in a discussion between me and him about the mysteries of plinths and materials for plinths, no you in there that I could see. My reference to Stradivarius was a joke, that's "j-o-k-e", look it up, you'll find it between "I" and "K" in the dictionary. You see, since Stradivarius lived centuries ago, for you that would be "long long ago", he did not have access to synthetic materials, which means "artificial," man-made materials not found in nature, like plastic, acrylic being a form of plastic, that's "p-l-a-s-t-i-c", which you'll find in the dictionary between "O" and "Q". Anyway, the joke is this: since Stradivarius - which I remind you is a running thread in the conversation between me and Elmo - lived long, long ago, he had no choice but to use natural materials. The joke was based on this, you see: since I favour natural materials, this makes me like Stradivarius, who actually had no choice, making the point moot, and so I am not in fact comparing myself to him, since his choice was no choice, thus the comparison is "moot", "m-o-o-t" which you'll find between the...oh forget about it. Very complicated to a fellow like yourself, I'm sure, but perhaps you can get someone to explain it to you. This falls under "humor", which is "h-u-m-o-r" (or British/Canadian spelling "h-u-m-o-u-r"), which you'll find in the dictionary between the letters "G" and "I". I was under the impression you had to be an adult to vote.
