For whose benefit? That was not in any sense necessary. It was your 
preference. You could have just as easily constructed a coherent 
response addressing all the points in a single block. It wouldn't have 
taken advanced writing skills to do. I am confident you are capable of this.

What I meant be "arrogant strategy" is that after more than a couple of 
rounds, a thread in which people are nesting comments often becomes very 
difficult to follow and respond to, which may limit further responses. 
Also, useful information can become buried and hard to extract, which 
naturally makes it potentially less useful. I don't mean to imply that 
you or anyone is motivated by these negative possibilities, I do wonder, 
though, how much thought is given to them. "Short-sighted" might be 
another appropriate and less inflammatory description.

I have noticed that you are not alone in preferring this approach; I 
only seem to single you out because I was replying to you. Rest assured 
I dislike it just as much when someone else employs it. That's what 
motivated me to say the problem (as I see it) is getting worse.

Cheers,

Warren
