I don't have the time for your juvenile antics, and the list could do
without the noise. You seem to want to have a dig at me and this was
the best complaint you could muster. I've criticised your output and
actions on the GNU Groff project, you are attacking a person. There's a
difference.
I respect Ingo's precision and so, when he gave a typical use case for
.TQ, I wanted to know what I might have missed. Thus I wrote *one
line*; hardly wordy.
BTW, thanks for your investigative write-up at
