As you already asked me about this off-list, and didn't like my
response, I'm happy to give it here:

Sure, but whether or not I believe you, my point is that it's not
really helpful to make comments in a forum in which you can't - or
won't - back them up. It doesn't add light, only heat, and doesn't
achieve anything except damage the movement.

James.
