Does it? I spent this past hour rereading all interesting stuff from thread #1210085, in search of the original post where I misused 'to require'. That thread also contains the posts (starting with message #1210672) where people like Terry explained the correct meaning. The subthreat starting with message #1210672 also contains posts about the misuse of 'demand'. You are a major player there. :)
