Since you have consistently demonstrated a failure to actually stop posting when you say you will, I am making a precommitment not to respond to any more of your comments, unless you can answer this question for me. If you reply to this comment without answering the question, I will no longer respond, and if you give an answer I do not think actually addresses the question, I will not respond.
