Why support a claim that assumes I have not been developing/researching a solution when you have absolutely no knowledge of what I have been doing?

But I know for a > fact that an attempt to redesign composer is: You claim "my focus and intent" is to "duplicate composer" and yet you claim you "honestly cannot wade through the 15,000-ish words?" If you haven't read my email, then how exactly do you know what my focus and intent has been? In fact, my focus and intent has *not* been to duplicate composer. FULL STOP. But since I already fully explained my focus and intent then — other than the fact you didn't read it — it would do a disservice to everyone to repeat it. > 1.

If you wanted to quiet a thread that obviously annoys you for some reason it would seem the last thing you to do is immediately knee-jerk a reply with three (3) different straw man accusations — each of which can easily be disproven by reading my email to which you replied — when just ignoring the email was your option. -Mike
