(So far I've downvoted many of your comments that contained what I believe to be confused/mystical thinking, dubious statements of unclear meaning that I expect can't be made clear by unpacking (whatever their poetic qualities may be); also, for similar reasons, some conversations that I didn't like taking place, mostly with chaosmosis, where I downvoted both sides.)

Thanks, Vladimir. From where does "what I believe" and what "I expect" come? What is the source of "I didn't like"?

Would you be more specific? It could be helpful. (Somewhere if not here?)

I "retracted" the list post because it had three net downvotes and to see what "retract" accomplishes here, and because I'm willing to retract any ineffective communication, "right" and "wrong" have almost nothing to do with it. It was still a nice thing for chaosmosis to say.
