I was just making an observation. Gosh. Anyway, the Administrator admonishes using this site for testing purposes (sticky note at top of page). I have no problem helping people out, but I was just making a general statment that it isn't necessary for people to post three or four posts in a row for the same question without giving anyone the time to answer them. Patience is a virtue. As far as testing goes, I really don't care one way or the other, but others do and make that point well know. It is so hard to post on this site sometimes because anything you say is taken way overboard. I was only making a simple observation.

Your first example was wrong and the other posters were completely within bounds to point that out before any of these newbies you are attempting to so earnestly assist make a note of something that would get them dinged on the job. Besides, any quasi-decent MT course teaches this early on in their curriculum.

"breech" as you did. A dead give away that an MT most likely wrote that message. Muscle memory is hard to overcome. You unwillingness to go private to show your true identity didn't bolster your claim of being genuine. You were right about this not being a place for MTSO executives. Most would likely post on the company board, not the word board where all the drama took place. But, what do I know?
