11 Reader, stop acting like a spoilt brat who needs to have the last say. I
12 really don't care how you define "meaningless", but your prattling on
13 about it, defending yourself, making yourself right and Neil wrong is
14 getting tiresome. Here's the real dope:
15
16 You gave what you thought was useful information.
17 As it turns out, it wasn't. It's just fluff.
18 Neil told you it was fluff and he told you why.
19 Neil is trying to help you, he hasn't sent you an invoice for his time
20 and he's within his rights to tell you what format he wants information
21 in so he can continue to give you this free advice.

23 Dude, it happens. Get over it.
