No, because there is nothing there in the message from member Eduardo Fermiano Luccas, which is in the group archive here:  #90088 and is the message that I presume all of us speaking about an empty message are referring to.

It has no content other than the quoted material, and one can see that when trying to copy or afterward when one pastes into something like notepad and no content is above, or below, the quoted material, which consists entirely of a quotation of your offering in message  #90075 and what you'd quoted from prior messages as part of it.

The difference between a top-flight creative man and the hack is his ability to express powerful meanings indirectly.
