Yes, that is what I was asking.
I interpreted Cynthia's question (and your original answer) as dealing with the
question of whether *all* quadrilaterals have the property.(It seemed to me that
your answer was proving this false by providing some examples of
non-trapezoids which do not have the property - which does not prove that
there are no examples of non-trapezoids that do have the property)

P.S. Of course I may have misread you - it is easy to get confused when the
negation of "any X is Y" is not the same as "there is not any X that is Y"
