    Apologies, omooex

    But the position you took yesterday, as expressed by you, deserved mocking. Other commenters expressed what seemed to be your argument better.

    So perhaps it wasn't what you meant to say but what you said---we have nothing else to react to. We don't bear the burden of divining your intent.
