	Good communication isn't supposed to be
a puzzle.  Creating puzzles in order for people to get your
message is, again, a way to "make points" and play games.

Sorry.  I was told to provide the means to reproduce my examples
when reporting a problem.  That wasn't done.  Poor example.
Justifying it as providing a puzzle for readers to solve is
just another game.
