You said that you understood Richmond would be Vol under whatever circumstances, then offered no source. That's a bold claim, and it should be common sense to cite your information. Even if you just heard it from a friend, it still gives you credibility to say that's where you heard it.
And people misinterpret other's posts all the time here on VN. BTO was just asking what you meant by "I understand." Heck, I've corrected BTO at least a couple times when he's misinterpreted posts in the same fashion. And I've done it plenty of times too.
