No, it was all the thread you replied to was about, and BTW the fool
is *you* regardless of how the vote turns out - the vote cannot change
the facts and you tried to pretend otherwise.  What a vote can do is
to make a decision that ignores the facts, which can lead to a bad
decision (depending on what specifically is ignored).

BTW, threads are not simply all posts with the same subject line, and
what you jumped into was a discussion about a specific topic: whether
marriage was equivalent to domestic partnerships.  It isn't.  If you
wanted to talk about something else, you should have replied to
someone talking about what you now claim you are interested in.
