I asked a question to see if we were all on the same page. Was my first response's example and explanation clear? Then Maciej could correct or clarify. Was it not seen? Was it seen but intentionally ignored? misunderstood? I did in fact post an incomplete example with a little hand waving. Maciej posted a much less clear description after that. So, don't you think it serves the discussion well to see if we're all on the same page? and that his contribution is > effectively pointless.

I don't like quibbling about quibbling and I have a ton of things that are way more fun to do[1]. I don't like it that you started a new discussion, out of context, and with false accusations. I don't like being implicated in such discussion. If you want to set an example, in the future, can you please,do so proacticely and not implicate others? Don't help others throw stones.
