Peter referred to your manner od conducting a dispute, and in particular to your asking the same questions repeatedly although they have been asked and discussed in the past. It can be rather trying if you do your best to answer a question fully only to see the very same person raise the very same question two or three months later.

Considered vague by whom? Can you give me an example of a vague answer to any of your questions? It's my modest ambition to answer questions clearly, and to clarify in follow-up postings any points that could be considered unclear. Perhaps it's your recollection of earlier discussions that's vague. In that case the only remedy is to save the postings that are of interest to you for future reference.

Funny. I thought we'd been discussing this stuff for a few days. What else can i say? Perhaps you could prepare a short numbered list of points that haven't been addressed exhaustively.
