I can only assume that you misunderstood me because the actual subject 
line does not matter in that way after the first post. It should be 
accurate to the first post, and then it's primary purpose should be to 
keep a thread together. This is why I don't understand when people just 
change the subject line and keep talking along the same lines. I look at 
the subject line, remember what I have already read once, read the 
response (if I can find it), and reply if I want. Part of successful 
communication is remembering what has already been said, so I only have 
to find the new information. Which is easiest when it's at the top and 
not hidden between a seemingly endless flood of quotes in quotes and 
other things I have already read many times such as people's signatures 
and the list footer, which sometimes seems equally endless. In this case 
I saw this subject, remembered you calling any email clients that didn't 
do it your way broken, and replied.

I am not trying to make anyone the problem. On the contrary, it looked 
to me as if you were trying to make Logan the problem just because you 
two look at things differently. You are asking Logan to be considerate 
of people who read like you do. Logan is asking you to be considerate of 
people who read like he does. I just so happen to read like Logan does 
and there is no cards involved there. I am just saying because it is 
less confusing for you, it does not mean it is not more confusing for 
other people. I feel like you have made a terrible assumption, and it is 
very hurtful that you would suggest I am playing some kind of card just 
because we communicate differently. Especially when you are playing the 
"I didn't expect that from you" card when I had no reason to believe 
that anyone here was playing any cards.
