I'm sorry, I hope you don't expect me to change that (bad) habit. Try to
get over it. (I'm sure things could be worse than that.)

What is worse is not the point. And I only expect that you'll do
whatever suits you. I'm just saying that when you post in that manner
(especially when you're not paying attention to my own posts; see my
previous post), my appetite for conversation is a lot less.

P.S. I'll try to keep your complains in mind (when reading your posts) -
but please don't expect too much. Thanx in advance.

Thanks for that. I mean, sure I know I make mistakes - both typos and
plain errors of fact and reasoning - but ordinarily my posts do
deserve to be read for the details I include and not brushed over with
"???"s and stuff like that right in the middle of a developing train
of thought. It's not like I'm some crank posting line by line
nonsense.

Anyway, overall, I do very much appreciate our conversations and your
help (which has been generous), knowledge, and enthusiasm for the
great subject of mathematical logic, set theory, and mathematics.
