This was not libel.  *The record shows* that it *is* typical for you to fail 
to differentiate between the argument and the person making it.  One could 
consider your using my name in this context libel, but I do not intend to 
descend to your niveau of argumentation and let you beat me with experience 
there.

No.  And as long as you cannot see that even though I made it perfectly 
clear, there really is nothing else to discuss.  Apparently you are 
challenged by even the slightest deviation from the answer that you expect − 
calling those responses “irrelevant” even though they are not.

So the only chance to resolve this in a civilized manner (and save me 
precious free time no less) that I can see at this point is to take it step 
by step:

No, I do not deny that "Loading Document A and Document B into Chrome 
27.0.1453.94 yield differing output."
