If you are incapable of figuring out how to read someone's post, you
(and your educational institution) have my deepest sympathy.

It's not an issue of courtesy. Some people's readers are set up that

be beyond their knowledge.

For you to assume otherwise is discourteous. Ironic, no?

Hawaii, the Caribbean coast of Quintana Roo; pretty much the same to me
for lazing on white sand under coconut palms, only lots closer. I do
know it. I'd still rather be driving fast.
