I haven't removed a single point of order from my post, beyond to edit a grammatical error; and to what strawman are you pointing? I quoted a direct line from your post and explained why I disagreed with it.

If this is how you're about to start discussing this, then I'll just bow out right now.

The strawman is:

>It is selfish, in the workplace to ask a colleague for help who sits an arm's length away?

Because I haven’t said that, at all. I’ll bow out myself.

This entire comment thread began because the person you're replying presented a situation where they are the person sitting arms length away from the messenger. At least, that was my impression, having sat back and watched this thread balloon so quickly, seems like a lot of people missed that and thought dvtrn was the one asking for help, when he's the one being asked and interrupted.

dvtrn have I misunderstood your posts? Sorry to put words in your mouth if I have.

No you are correct.
