Really?
If you look carefully you will find that I replied at considerable length to
every point you made in your lengthy review.

Sure. And why not?
The authors saw your comments and updated the document. What more could you
possibly want?

Right.
How wonderful for you that your comments were adopted by the authors.

An interesting recommendation that people may take at face value.

That is entirely your choice.
I don't know that I could say anything that would not discourage you further.

Frankly, I don't care about that. Your objective was to get the document
changed. The document was changed. You should be happy.

I understand that that is how it seems to you.
But it doesn't say that.
I would positively die of boredom if every time I typed (to anyone) "fixed in
version -xx" I had to type "this has been fixed in version -xx, as a result of
your careful and most excellent review."

Some of us don't have the luxury to be discouraged by our email exchanges. Some
of us have the joy to be an AD and type long and painful responses to emails.
Some of us don't get a note saying "Thank you for responding to my review and
updating the document to take into account my comments."

I really must say that none of this is cultural or related to remote
participation. It is frankly annoying.
