> Why not just explain the thing?

I asked first if y’all wanted to know because:

1. It will take a long time to write the answer so I first wanted to know if it would be at all interesting or if it would be dismissed as whinging and excuses.

2. in the past year, I’ve had severe negative responses to posting a verbose text response. I wanted to avoid that by first asking if people wanted it.
