"... they don't register on some people's dial at all. Very odd."

   It is VERY odd how often he makes certain points...after the 27th repetition, he starts getting responses ABOUT the frequency, as well as responses to the 'point'.

and when he makes them in compound-complex sentences with ambiguous referents and hypothetical constructs, he gets smart-alec responses from pedants like me who are so bemused by the single-minded obsession that we keep replying out of some morbid fascination, like watching some evangelical preacher rant & rave on the TV.

All his points have been answered, over & over, seriously and at length. But like a little kid when Mommy tell him, "No, you CAN'T have it your way.", he just keeps going...nagging, repeating, switching the focus, etc.
