On the other hand, I have been told by a blind list user that it is far simpler for him to read top posts, rather than listening to the computer say all the things he previously typed before giving him the response.  You think your way is more concise AND proven superior, but not everyone shares your preferences.

My way of saying I agree AND proving it.
