Ugh. The whole thing is very tiresome. I have made quite a few

apparently that's not enough for you, and you want me
to say they are the same in all ways, which they are not.

I think I've said everything I want to say now.

Well yes, it is tiresome and more to the point an insignificant
detail. Who really cares exactly what a pointer is? For the most
part I think we agree and that's good enough for me.
