OK, I've read through all of these and I have to say I am deeply impressed by your grasp of what to many are some pretty subtle but important distinctions (AND compromises) to make. As well as your persistence in communicating your grasp of these distinctions and compromises. Damn. It's actually fascinating to trace back to the conversations you were responding to and see the examples that cropped up. I think that what you're getting at is exactly the sort of thing that is communicated nonverbally in person, but which gets lost over text. Anyway, thanks. I'm now going to post portions of this discussion to ChatGPT4 just to see what it thinks... (Also, lead as nutrient? What the heck did that guy post??)

Thank you very much for taking the time to read those posts and write this thoughtful response! I really appreciate it. > What the heck did that guy post? You should be able to see everything by turning 'showdead' on in your profile. (Standard disclaimer: if you do that, please realize that you're signing up to see the worst that the internet brings to HN; and don't forget that you did it! We regularly get emails from users complaining about awful comments on HN, and then it turns out those accounts were banned a long time ago and the user just forgot that they had 'showdead' on.)
