A very true comment that makes good sense and makes a very good point for those with the intelligence to understand it.

OK still confused, are you suggesting I don't have the intelligence to understand the original letter?

Do you understand it, and if you do, why did you make such a comment? The letter makes sense and a very valid point.

Yes it's preferable to endless tedious series of comments of which I assume you intended yours to be the start.
