Do you realize you just sent me a 1,050 word question?

How many thousands (tens of thousands?) of words have you written, on this thread alone? (that's another one of those "rheotorical" questions. I don't expect anyone to go and count words here).

But we're all expected to read through and thoroughly digest (and agree with -- with no complaint?) all of that?

I don't think so, sister.

What I wrote, was about how much of what you've saying here -- just does not work.

It's not as simple as you appear to be making it out to be. If those contortions and specialized filtering apparatus as described and [allegedly] exampled can be said to be "simple".

It's mind-numbing to have to wade through it all...

Please forgive me. I didn't mean to say you're too prolix, or beg off reading what you wrote. (I'm doing that right now.)

A just answer from you might have been, with just a wee scent of snark, "Right back at'cha, Miz Schoolmarm!"

Now I'll go back to parsing your previous post --- my homework!
