I've sort of not stopped thinking about this post since I read it and thinking also that really 'I read it' isn't enough, but I felt that flailing silence wouldn't adequately convey my having read all your very brilliant words there.

I think the merit in your post is enormous and I hope maybe that can make you slightly less unhappy. But I get that that isn't the point.
