Sure, I understand your point.

I am glad you respond in a reasonable, civilized, way, about a reasonable
topic, and I find talking to you a very pleasant experience - even if we
disagree, it doesn't make a difference at all.

The point of the segments you described is:

You have to throw somebody in unkown water, on purpose, in order to teach
him how to swim in the best way, and get out of him the best, his best.

That is all what I meant. No ulterior motive whatsoever.

Somebody like it, somebody does not.

Huacai doesn't, and I respect it, as shown in v3.

If you were here, all will be easier - we could talk, consult each other,
advice each other. I would enjoy working with you. I have also strong
feeling we would find common interest outside technical world, probably in
various intelectual realms. Perhaps this is not known to you, but french
thinkers are much appreciated and understood here in Serbia. We are
frankofilles.

But you choose not to be here. And what can I do? I can't force you to be
somewhere you don't want to be. I felt the loss of you not being here
throughout all my online presence.

Mixed feelings, ha?

Truly yours,
Aleksandar
