Erm, no. I wasn't complaining, just giving a suggestion. That's
something completely different in my book. A suggestion can be
dismissed or be helpful. The posters decide.

WRT who made the thread branch become long; every meta discussion
contributes a bit, and it becomes long if we latch on posts and
meta-topics - as we two currently seem to start. This was not my
intention which merely was to suggest just a bit more serenity
(and not discuss too deeply what's "appropriate or inappropriate
behavior").
