Is it really so difficult to look at an alternative version of a
message and tell us if it makes it any clearer? *Something* made you

either a problem with the way it's written or a problem with the way
you're reading it. Help us narrow that down a bit!

That's not the problem. The problem is that your idea for how to fix
a confusing text is to make it longer and more complicated instead of
clearer.
