      No snark intended. Do you run into that so often that you’ve come to expect it?

            Yeah watch me not deny it tho; I intended for it to be snarky and anticipated this impact.

          That rudely condescending comment lends nothing useful to the discussion, and has just earned my only downvote of the day. Enjoy. Bye.
