Well, OK, I will concede that maybe you do listen and understand, and only then do you purposely avoid engagement on the point at issue. That too is a possibility.

Since your moral obligation, frequently stated on FR, is to answer in order every post addressed to you, whether directly or not, I herewith grant you a special - time saving! - dispensation allowing you to forego responding to this one, if you so choose.
