Indeed the irony
The thread was started by someone pointing out (correctly) that it was unnecessary to read back a particular word.
Yet you are strenuously objecting to having to read back something that is correctly required. Just because you think its unnecessary is completely irrelevant. Its just a casual observation but there seems to come a point with posters that have quite high post counts where they get upset with anyone who has a contrary view and end up in a vortex of vitriolic keyboard bashing. I would respectfully suggest that if this is causing you such angst then give yourself a break and put the keyboard away for a while.
