Then try to imagine that some people do exactly that, and the rest of us don't know you or commenting habits.
My question was therefore reasonable. It was also informative, by letting other readers know they can avoid that kind of paywall without revealing their interests to the dodgy archive site.
Your response reads like snark, which doesn't help anyone. I'll try convince myself that you didn't mean it that way.
It wasn't snark, but mild 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 creating & providing needless non-paywall archive links just because they can. Never mind the arrogant, self-righteous tone.
Whatever. This is pointless. Chao.
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) turns out to be from someone looking for 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.
Fair enough. Ciao.
