I'm not really angry, and I'm not blaming Thara either. I just tried
to do some constructive criticism that was apparently not accepted,
and I decided not to push it any further.

Indeed, specially when dealing with a heated argument, it's sometimes
important to specify where you have snipped text. Although I think
most of the time that's not needed, a "snip" comment is preferable to
dozes or hundreds of extra lines.
