If you can explain how your note relates to mine, I'd appreciate it.

You appear to be responding to a point that has been raised elsewhere in 
the discussion (by others), but has nothing at all to do with the points 
I was making.

Best I can guess is that you somehow think that because I didn't mention 
something I meant that it didn't matter.  If so, please re-target your 
note because that would be a bad reading.
