Responding to all that the previous poster said, which is what I assume
you meant, would result in a literally exponential explosion of verbiage.
That way lies madness, no one has that sort of time.

Note that your reply was a single sentence that does not attempt to
reply to all that Mr. Krygowski said.  Nothing wrong with that, but the
sentence refutes itself.
