Let's see:

I post a note calling for careful exploration of an issue and include
the statement:

You post a note saying we have the people who show up, and Randy
posts a note saying all samples are biased.

Neither of you offers any additional, substantive response to my query,
nor any indication of interest in pursuing it further.


No doubt there is a way of reading your responses as showing that
concern I failed find, and as providing useful insight to the topic, so
I apologize for having missed it entirely.
