Since you asked . . . it not only crossed my mind, but was quite plain, that you were "trying to draw out the distinction between a thread and a process" -- by being pedantic and deliberately obtuse about the OP's language.

He used quotation marks to indicate that he didn't mean a formal process - twice! - and explained himself clearly enough that several other monks, and even I, were able to understand his question and follow-up remarks. I'm sure you had, also.

The original motivation for my post was to bring the question and answer together. I would have just said something like "answer his damn question already," but I took into account your prickliness and modified what I was going to say to (a) broaden the scope and include the OP's failure to really answer your questions; and (b) wrap the post in light-heartedness by use of smilies, "Geez" and other cues. I also upvoted the post in which you finally provided the answer. None of this could apparently prevent you from feeling slighted and wronged and outraged.

Well, have fun with that, and have no fear -- this will be the last time there is any "interjection" from me: in future when I see you haranguing someone because they haven't asked for your knowledge in an acceptable way, I'll leave you to it. I am no Sisyphus.

The way forward always starts with a minimal test.
