@LBB : Let me use quotes from both Obi and Harold :

Part of Harold's first post : ''If you did make that rule, it would be mostly useless. People would still READ what you are saying, that rule would only make it so you can't COMMENT.''

Part of Obi's response : It is so easy to read talk page messages it isn't funny— there is no difference between TPs and MWs when it comes to conversation stalkers.

Part of Harold's second post :''

On people reading your message walls: "If you don't know about it (which you won't) what harm does it do you?" My response: No direct harm, correct.''

Another part of the same post :

''I don't want my conversation with another user to turn into a huge debate that anyone can get invloved in. I know your response will be that talk pages will do the same, BUT THEY WON'T.''

Obi is correct. Harold changed the subject from other users reading message walls to other users commenting on them, and argued with Obi as if that was the point he made. But Obi did not make that point.
