that meant 'i won't further comment on this, i give up'.  i thought for
a while about explaining this, but then i though i might use the r
strategy -- let it be ambiguous.

i can certainly agree that i don't pay attention to diplomacy.  my
favourite philosopher said 'you should seek friends, not truth';  i
betray him here, fortunately or not.  anyway, if you mean a post raising
serious issues should be ignored just because it is not polished enough,
let it be.  you gain peace, you lose feedback.

i can promise to make more effort to wrap the essence in a cake, and
drop unnecessary pun (you know, i have drop=FALSE by default, because
that's the way many languages other than r have), if this helps.
