You seriously managed to interpret that as an indirect sleight towards your

No longer an issue - I'll keep further responses, if any, short.

It doesn't matter to me that it _might_ be this, or it _might_ be that - 
I'm doing it, as in - work in progress - for my own set of reasons.

I've already made it clear several times over that I'm not covertly

Additionally, "hey lets fork Plan 9!" is an extremely inaccurate summary.

Won't be necessary - too much hostility, too much sensitivity, too much
suspicion is in the air for any sort of productive dialog to emerge from
this thread. 

I'm going to drop the subject so that I don't make too much of a  pariah out
