On the contrary, I am interested in what you think (and others here

sarcastic remarks, which I apparently engage in when I feel that others
are imposing on me. No doubt it is a character flaw, but fortunately,
a relatively harmless one.

Feel free to put words in my mouth anytime! That is more clear and concise
an explanation than I could have written, and the lever imagery is a nice
touch!
