You ignored certain parts of my post, like "I'm not considering
actually using this, but I do have a couple questions about it"; I
assume that means you're not even going to begin to attempt to answer
my queries. Likewise, you ignored a similar message on the page I
linked to. I already knew about everything you told me.

With all this active ignoring, I get the feeling you're not even
trying to respond to my questions. So why respond in the first place?
Were you trying to be hostile? Because I can't see any other intent
for your post.
