      These “duh” comments are always here in these situations.

          I hope so, that’s good to hear. Some people seem so pissed off when making such comments about “useless” studies. 😔

            People in text always sound more pissed off than they were. That mostly has to do with your expectations though ;)

                  sorry. I thought I was being friendly. Perhaps you’d prefer periods as my punctuation. I hope you’re happy.
