I don't have the machine parser handy, but in this case, doesn't the {xu} attach to {maikl.} or {doi maikl.}? So it's really "Is it you that I'm talking you? Oh, and this is a one of your cruel statements". We use {xu} initially a whole lot to make a sentence a question, but that's because it attaches to the {.i} and thus to the sentence as a whole. Or am I misreading the parse here? ~mark
