I love this granular explanation. Not “too long” for me. Thanks.

The problem is that I know most people do not have either the background or deep interest in subject that I do. Answers that I see as grossly superficial and incomplete may provoke a TL/DR response.

I don't want to waste all y'all's time and I sure as hell don't want to annoy people.

You’re very considerate of your readers and the bandwidth.
It’s noticeable.

I could take lessons— can’t seem to speak at all, if not in several lines. I have plenty of company, of course.

Few of us just grunt a single word, or a short sentence, or else why post at all, right. 😄

Good work.

LP, please don’t worry about the length of your posts.

On my mouse (and most mouses - mice???) - there is this wheel in the middle that when you spin it, you can go from where you are to somewhere else. If someone gets bored with the very interesting information you provide, they have the means to use that.

Oh yeah, most keyboards also have this key labeled “Page Down” (or some such iteration of that) which will also take them somewhere else.

The West Taiwan information you provide is interesting and important to many of us - we’d rather have more than less. If we get bored (unlikely) we have the means to move on.

Thanks for the Broken China updates - you provide an informed perspective not found elsewhere.
