Indeed. Once Nevada comes back from vacation (or wherever he is....haven't heard from him in a while), this conversation will become much more enlightening (entertaining?).

It does not have to come from him. We have several others here that love to tell us how clear the NF is in one breathe and then might tell us how wrong the NF is in the next breathe, while all at the same time telling us that anyone confused by language is totally wrong in our confusion of typical NF language. But such is life on this site.

Peace

Some things are clear, some things are not. Some people are just more easily confused.

Again, this just proves that the NF often usage language that confuses many people and even when it appears to be clear, it is confusing when you look at their body of work. This is just as confusing as the other situations we talk about that people like you say is so clear, when they have almost no support with other language to clarify what they should be done.

Peace

I agree that this one is confusing since it has apparent implications that were not announced as a change. That doesn't, however, mean than other things are automatically confusing too just because some people don't understand them.

Again when the information is not clear, you leave it open to interpretation. You cannot tell me this proves that the NF makes clear statements on anything, when a situation is not covered specifically. This is just another example of what others say about the NF and their logic. But you will disagree and that is fine, but just this alone proves how confusing they can be.

Peace
