I have gone back and re read this entire passage of threads to try and understand this better. What I see is a typographical error by me. The mislocation of a few quotation marks. And a misquotation.

I am sorry if you read this as a lecture from me. I wasn't trying to lecture anybody. Lord knows that I don't have the complete knowledge it would take on this subject. My knowledge of Shakespeare is that of an evening reader. For pleasure, not for study.

I wasn't trying to divert anybody from anything. Your observations and your opinions are certainly well stated for all to read.

Nor was I trying to diminish you in the the eys of any other readers of this forum. But apparently I worded my comments in a way that you found offensive and for that I appologize. It was never my intent to be officious or make you look foolish in anyway.
