> Btw, I'm going to try an experiment and respond to your GP comment with a non-moderation reply, just because I find the topic interesting, and also in the hope of communicating what I said above: the thoughtful component of the conversation is fine. (No obligation to reply of course.)

I had logged off to chill out a bit so missed that you wrote this. Sorry to admit my ignorance but I don't know what this means? I appreciate your engaging with me fwiw.

I'm sucked back into work for most of the rest of the day so if you don't see a reply from me that's why, I'm not off stewing in a huff.

Sorry, it just took me a long time to write what I wanted, plus I'm on a flight with slow wi-fi. It's there now: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48982399.

No worries—I appreciate the exchange!
