(To be specific, the comments referred to are those in the posting being replied to, and also those three articles up from the immediately previous one, in the same thread.) Here is a short synopsis of my perceptions from the prior discussions. I posted a followup containing only a short one-sentence comment, which precipitated a long series of postings and comments going back and forth. After realizing that my original one-sentence statement had been misunderstood, I withdrew the earlier statement, meaning the original one-sentence comment that precipitated it all. I was hoping to wrap up the discussion. Following my statement of withdrawal I have nothing more to say about that. Early on a question was asked about my initial statement but I realized the subject of the question was not the same as what I was talking about. Because the subject was different I didn't have anything to say about it, and that is still the case now. At some point it seemed like the discussion was finished, but after a time a posting was made containing what I consider to be an unfounded accusation. I responded to try to set the record straight. At some later point I submitted a followup to a posting from someone who had not participated in the discussions up to that point. I did this because I thought some misrepresentations had been made, and so I made an effort to give a fair and faithful presentation of what had happened. That posting of mine provoked another series of comments and reactions, which appear to be similar to comments and reactions given earlier. Based on recent comments it appears there was some confusion about whether, or maybe when, I made the statement about withdrawing my original comment. I appreciate that the confusion was recognized and a statement was made to that effect (note that "confusion" is my word choice, not necessarily anyone else's). (end of synopsis.) I make no claim that any of the synopsis statements are offered as statements of fact. Let me say again that I have read through your comments and expect to consider further what you have said. As of now I have nothing more to say about them.
