Perhaps you should review the repeated focus on "rough consensus".  You've been
persistent in pressing your points.  I haven't noticed your developing support,
but perhaps you have and can document it.  Failing that, yes, you are wasting
the group's time.


As for interpreting counter-postings as indicating that your points are valid or 
worthy, you would be missing the alternative explanation that the postings are 
either tutorial or defensive against /others/ taking the points as worthy.

That is precisely what I am doing with this, and my previous, posting.

I think enough of us have posted more than enough such notes.  Any more 
responses like this would, themselves, merely waste mailing list bandwidth...
