Do you really mean that in my post above (two posts back) there is nothing that you conceive as a question addressed to you? Or that you simply are not interested in answering? Anyways... I really do not care for this game. If you really have nothing to add regarding the scholarly essence of this discussion, there is no reason in keeping up this discussion that might be mistaken as meaningless bickering.
