I have to admit to not having read the beginning of this thread,
because what I know realize was an unfortunate typo lead me to
believe it was one of the garbage threads that has been popping up
here lately. For the life of me, I couldn't figure out what "asser"
was supposed to mean, and to be honest, I really didn't want to find
out.

Pfoley responded with something about not treating a dog for
executing a command. There are obvious legitimate concerns
about not rewarding the wrong stuff, but that wasn't what he
was talking about. Or at least it's not what he wrote.


Also, in The Pfoley's worldview, reading the post to which you reply
is verboten.
