Can't you take a second to digest the fundamental point. All you have to 
do is remove "SPARQL" from whatever is being adopted as Linked Data re.

Again, please digest the thread that started with a SPARQL query based 
form and the responses that followed.

Please stop reacting. Just digest the flow and connect the dots.
