I suspect your behavior, Lou, likely would be represented by an outlying data point were it to be quantified and described as part of a data set of the entire community, just as the hypothetical behavior of restaurant patrons I outlined above would be far outside the norm of the behavior of restaurant patrons in general. There is nothing inherently wrong with behavior such as I described above, but it does have consequences. Those consequences are the effect of the BEHAVIOR, and not any character label. .As you notice, I gave no demographic information about the patrons in my scenario. Any conclusions one might make about the reactions of the staff could not be based on any demographic category the patrons might be placed in.

Of this I have NO DOUBT.

I tend to doubt, in fact, that it would even represent a single good to you, as I fear you will never feel satisfied despite anyone's best and extraordinary efforts. And I feel sad about that aspect, because I imagine living in that state would be terribly painful.

You wrote,[...that it would even represent a single good to you...I fear you will XXXXX feel satisfied...that state..terribly painful..].
I am unsure as to what you are wanting to mean by what you posted here. If you could clarify the following, then I could have the opportunity to respond accordingly.
A. In [...a single good to you..],if this is related to the notifications being outstanding, could you elaborate on that as to what one good could be that if the notifications of mine that are outstanding were according to the TOS here responded to?
B. If the statement is not related to the outstanding notifications of mine, could you elaborate on what it then is related to?
C. In,[...I fear you will XXXXX feel satisfied...], if this is concerning the outstanding notifications of mine, could you list any facts that you used to conclude in advance that I would XXXXX feel satisfied as to what could cause you to have that fear?
D. In,[...that state...terribly painful...], could you list here what criteria, if any, if this concerns the outstanding notifications of mine, that you used to think that that would be the state that I would be in if the notifications of mine were responded to?
E. Is it possible, in your opinion, that I could be in another state?
F. other good and just explanations of yourpost to me here.
Lou
