Rare but it does happen.

Thank you again for the favor of a reply. Out of gratitude for your validation of my posts, I did ponder your remarks. At first, I did indeed interpret your remarks as a rebuke of my posting style, but then realized in the context of the above quote chain, the putative interpretation is of a rear end collision as a rare event.

Nonetheless I do acknowledge your out-of-context implication.
