In that case, how about making a point of explaining what's at issue
in a manner that will make it clear to us mere mortals?  Please don't
assume that everybody else can guess what you regard as being ``at
issue'' from a short sentence that disguises more than it reveals.

If that was supposed to be an apology (as in ``sorry, I was
misunderstood''), then I accept it.

[The facts remain that there isn't a piece of Mule-related code in
Emacs I've written during the last few years that was not attacked by
you at some point.  "Carthaginem esse delendam" is an attitude that
comes to mind.]
