My point is that 'skyline' does not mean 'entire view of a city from very far away' just because you say that's what it is, and you also don't need to completely trash a conversation by posting two dozen photos that have already been posted. You really only needed two to make that point, I'm just suggesting a petite air of politeness to the other people in the conversation.

But that's not what I said.

What I said is that a skyline is "how the city appears on the horizon and from a distance."

Granted, the "from a distance" bit is overkill (already implied by "on the horizon") and I should have left it off.

That statement is pretty rich, given this from you just a few posts earlier:

I posted the pics sequentially to avoid giving the impression that I was singling out any particular forumer for comment. No trash intended. But I've taken them down now in response to your post.
