     No, in English _demands_ do not begin with the word "perhaps".

     Where else would one talk about how to deal with this list?  
But no, I'm not ignorant of logic; I simply thought I might be 
permitted one remark on the subject without risking further 
degradation of the overall quality of discourse here.  I had no wish 
to start an argument that would.  You are free to do so, of course, 
but take issue with what I actually said, not some fascist bogeyman.
