So you feel that he's asking to be left to wander down a path where
fewer and fewer people can help him, all without warning, so that
eventually no one will answer his questions because they can't do so?
Interesting: I missed the spot in his note where he indicated that he
didn't want that warning and understood that as the path he was
heading down.  While I've seen that as the default assumption on some
other mailing lists, it certainly isn't the default assumption here.
