Not really.
You just posted more thought, not reactions.

What if you don't follow a 'he-said' / 'she-said' kind of argument and 
actually stated what your thoughts are on the subject matter.
Michael wrote it in an email:

Do you still disagree that he said that?

As a response to your dismissing the stance of the TC on list-style vs. list. 
We agreed to look at 1.2 for numbered paragraphs; NOT for all things under

To these points I have the same objection; you are not replying to the content 
of the points.

Now; I'd really like to hear your reactions to the points stated; not just 
arguing my view of the point. But really on the content of it.
You are capable of arguing on technical merit, I presume :)
