Charley, I don't think anyone interpreted your post otherwise... and I also do not think there is anything about any of this that is easy to think about, talk about, or hear someone else accurately about.I was a bit concerned that people would drop their interest, in the feeling that now we don't really "have" to think about this... not that you had "caused" that, but that it could be an unsurprising reaction on the part of many. You know-- "Oh, good, everything is fine, zzzz....." So if I spoke tartly it was to head that off, not to aim it at you.
I welcome anything you can contribute that can bring additional clarity to what we are discussing.
