Indeed, I feel especially honoured that you laboured over so many paragraphs, in all their verbosity, to dismiss an opinion that means almost nothing to you.
Well, your opinion of me does not matter to me, but the conversation is still useful for me: it is good to know that once again, someone who values Joyce's position turns out to act very predictably. It helps me build up a more realistic understanding on what I should think of Joyce's view.
