your criteria. As I said, I wondered who you were blaming.

As you had no answer to that, I tried once more to learn what you hope to gain by repeating your mantra that the concerns of those you interact with are not legitimate. I have tried before without success, but I thought I'd try again.

I do think I have learned what you are seeking by doing that. Interestingly, I suspect you are unaware of the answer.

So yes, Kaleva. This could go on and on. But I think I have learned what I was hoping to learn. So you have a great new year and I'll bow out.

I think having the last word is important to you, so enjoy.
