LOL. I see I fell short of my objective to keep my messages distinct. My apology was for framing your response as boilerplate when it was actually quite thoughtful and very well presented.

My position has not otherwise changed: I appreciate your response. I’ve done my due diligence. I am not asking for enlightenment. I’ve no need to prove up my position. I can live with all attending consequences.

Your work is still very tightly woven, and presented well, and my choice is still made. Process that as you wish, but let’s move on, ok?

Be well,

Catherine
