I respond at the place that appears most appropriate for what
I want to say in the context I want to reply to. I'm not here
to serve your, umm, "standards" (to avoid the word "idee fixe");
and you just have to accept that[*], I fear.

I'm sure others here have no problem to go upward the thread
hierarchy one more level to find your text that I deliberately
didn't quote for the reason (still quoted above) I mentioned;
I don't think they're worth quoting, they provide no argument,
they were fuzzy. (Of course all only IMO.)
