- lkbm 8y agoThat might be relevant, but it's a completely different argument than you initially provided.

The comment I responded to brought up the issue of relevance given an apparent solution. My comment merely addresses the issue of relevance that was raised.
- lkbm 8y ago> That wasn't me who made the initial argument. My apologies. I wasn't paying attention to the names.
