Fantastic! Let's go with this, with a random example: did you or did you 
not believe that operator new was "deprecated in C++20 and slated for 
removal in C++23", and that smart pointers "most likely they will go 
away with "new.""?

If the answer is yes, you were lying. If the answer is no, or you don't 
answer, then you're trolling the mailing list. You'll get my apology; 
I'll even throw in, for free, my personal congratulations for the long 
trolling. But, you'll get a nice permanent ban from here.

Ha ha ha ha.

Oh really? Have I contacted YOU off-list? Could you produce an example? 
(You may have noticed that my emails are cryptographically signed, so 
good luck with this).

Or someone else contacted you off-list? In which case, you must be so 
lucky at having so many dedicated fans writing directly to you. If only 
they came forward here contributing to the discussions, this mailing 
list would be much more alive.
