I'm sorry about how my statement was phrased. It made sense in my head when I wrote it but now I think it might be not so good. If you don't mind maybe we can just drop it and leave it at that. >>> Your habit to answer in useless manner starts to feel >>> strange. >> >> I'm sure other people feel the same way about your answers. > > My ideas may feel to be useless to many but at least I try > to provide some.

I have the sense that your communication style is more argumentative than constructive. I don't like arguing, and I don't like trying to have a productive conversation with people who are more interested in argument than communication. So in exchanges with you I've learned not to say very much, because trying to say more would for me be counter-productive.
