While I suppose it was off topic from the thread I commented in, I did believe it was relevant to the comment I commented on (in my efforts to keep my comments of a high quality).

Thanks for the mod work! It's a thankless job but appreciated.

It's true, and not really your fault. The slippery slope of offtopicness is continuous but opportunities for snippage are discrete.

Thanks for the nice words, doubly nice after getting penalized.
