The above paragraph is a gem: Bob is pushing forward his "secret agenda"
theories, and complaining that rather than sticking to the "point" in discussing
my "true motives", I insist on discussing the topic.

This is quite a bit like the Shaun Graham attack on Bob Hyatt that occurred here
where he pressed a ridiculous point with self-righteous anger to the extent that
he ignored every other consideration.

I'm indeed trying to stick to the topic, because it interests me and there are
things to say, and I'm trying hard to resist Bob's efforts to derail this to
irrelevant channels, annoying as they are.
