  > Your tone in this and the AMA thread is combative, and wouldn't lead to a productive discussion. That's mostly your impression.

What you find more interesting and what I find more interesting do not necessarily have to be the same things, and you are totally welcome to ask your technical merits questions. Finally, I don't like to be told what I can and can not discuss, especially not in a thread started by someone who wrote 'AMA' where the third A stands for 'Anything'.
