That was clear to me. Likewise I hope you didn't take my comment as assuming you were! Your analogy got me thinking about the situation from Thiel's perspective. This whole election has had me thinking about a lot of things.

Frankly, part of why I responded to you was because it looks like you're trying to look at the behavior in general rather than the politics in particular, and I appreciate that. I'm trying to do the same.

Thanks for being part of that!
