It's an interesting assumption, considering that we are talking to each other right now. At least I assume so. Usually in my experience people note that they're not directly replying to someone because otherwise it does get very confusing.

Not that it matters, really. I'm more interesting about the em dash thing, that supposedly changed the meaning. I just don't see how.

E: I just realized that them not directly addressing me, who posted the link to New York Post but everyone in the thread posting New York Post links doesn't change the meaning, just the target. lol

The dash thingy is also new to me.
