The note I was responding to, and quoted, claimed there was no
problem, everything was fine, so let's not discuss it.
I think we're now getting into some serious out-of-context-ness.

I agree.

Well, if you and others believe there is no problem then I would agree.
>Let's move on.
How come every note you send starts out by raising a bunch of issues
and ends with, essentially, ``but let's not discuss it anymore''?
Seems an odd thing to do.
