How so?

You snipped it before, but here goes again:

ALWAYS refuel after every flight, so that we always have full tanks.

I don't know why more pilots don't do this.

Then:

To be specific, my concern is that I see many pilots who
don't carry more fuel when they could and within reason. OK?
It's irritating to have comments nitpicked by the dedicatedly
pugnacious.

"...when they could and within reason" is quite different from
"ALWAYS...after every flight," wouldn't you say? You substantially changed
your position when challenged; where's the nitpicking?

Why didn't anyone go after the original poster and accuse him

I quoted both you and the OP in my first response.
