Herman that it is most certainly implied.

And yet the response was to that one post. I am well aware of Ralf's posting history, and yet I was more than capable of reading that post VERY differently.

Sometimes our mind fills in the blanks like we want them to.

And that is exactly were I'm talking about. I don't believe that Ralf is a Troll, I think he is really a Linux lover.
Otherwise I wouldn't response to his post at all.
But to often he wrote in a style which leads to bad feelings for those how do the work. Critic is mostly welcome, but it must be a bit constructive, not only in a demotivate manner. To be honest, I cant develop all the apps which be available for windows/MAC, simply because I haven’t the time (and haven't any interest in do so). Shut I give up now, because I cant do enough? So were is the point in such comparisons? Were is the point in such a statement?

I was absolutely able to interpret the post in the same way as you do, but, that is only one side, there is also a other side which is were I response to. As you said, words fit in a blank, they could interpreted differently.
