You make some good points here, Harold, and I'd like to go further with it, but your little footnote disclaimer has me on the ropes.

I'm not trying to engage in the "nuance," but rather engage in a conversation with you about what you wrote in this specific post. If that requires me to understand the context of six years' worth of previous posts, comments, and references, I can't really say it's worth it for me...especially for something that you describe as "half-baked" "raw materials" written mainly for your own benefit.

Consider me retired from commenting. The entrance fee is too steep.
