bkil, if you are so [pressed for time, lazy, can’t-be-bothered…] to respond to what is not a “wall of text” (it’s less than one screen full at 421 words, maybe “an average composition for a primary-school student"), with "TL;DR," why do you subscribe to this list?

Plus, I’ve already placed you into the category of “should tune elsewhere” even before you wrote your (rude) response.  So, go be mute.

These are serious topics I bring up.  If you can’t engage in constructive criticism or better, be gone with you from here.

Concision, in the sense that it is an attempt to censor (as in, "shut up, you’re blabbering too much"), has no place in this discussion.

Those who would give up thoughtful exchange of ideas for an "easy pill to swallow” of “opinions and reasoning pro & con” deserve neither.
