   As you may have observed, I often put in time and effort to give   
   further explanation of an earlier comment.  I'm more likely to do   
   that when I think the person I'm responding to is interested in   
   hearing what I have to say.   
      
   I hope you will understand if I choose not to read or respond to   
   your future postings.
