What makes you think I thought that?

Merely mentioning one does not mean I ignore similar aspects in other
ventures/projects/etc.  I was just being specific due to the context of the

Please try to avoid making assumptions about my thinking, thanks.  I'll
gladly return the favor.  No need IMO to ask that of a person on the list,
anyway.  I will happily explain my positions in private email.
