  Then try to imagine that some people do exactly that, and the rest of us don’t know you or your motivations.

  My question was therefore reasonable. It was also informative, by letting people know they can avoid that kind of paywall without revealing their interests to the dodgy archive site. Responding with snark doesn’t help anyone.

    It wasn’t snark, but confusion. If my response was snark, then your question prompting it could be interpreted as condescending brag. Compounded now by the seemingly absurd attempt at justification by claiming some people go through the effort of providing non-paywall archive links just because they can.

    Whatever. This is pointless. Chao.

      It wasn’t snark, but mild confusion.

      In that case, I’m sorry for misunderstanding.

      I hope you can understand that at least nine times out of ten, a response like yours (instead of simply answering or ignoring the question) has been the early stages of someone starting a fight. I’m glad to find that the last sentence of my reply turned out to be warranted, at first. Lashing out really wasn’t necessary.

      Whatever. This is pointless. Chao.

      Fair enough. Ciao.
