Why bother? If someone asks a meaningful question, it is unanswerable.

I thought you could read my mind. I quit quiting. Or perhaps I never took up
the habit. Perhaps I lie alot. Only poor lost innocents like you think that
you "know" I tell the truth. For a precise entity such as yourself, you sure
miss a lot.

You have a lot in common with a good (crooked?) CEO - very focused on product
and deriding the competition. You just need to work on your sales strategy a
little bit. The bang em on the head until they buy has a limited appeal.

Ananias, I know you.
