Hi again station_two.
It seems we have misunderstood one another. When I wrote "Thanks for your message," I was sincere, not sarcastic. And when I asked "The first two SSD drives are inadequate for what? For anything at all?," these were sincere questions, not rhetorical ones: I was genuinely uncertain as to what you meant, and was asking you to help me understand. I had not known that the OS needs plenty of available disk space for its swap files, so it's a good thing for me that I asked you the questions I did: otherwise I wouldn't have learned that. I will try to learn more about it elsewhere, since it feels like you wouldn't want to tell me more about it here. I didn't mean to be claiming that my needs were modest, but even if I had been, I see nothing unprofessional about modest needs. I'm sorry if I have wasted your time. I thought that it was okay to ask questions to which one did not already know the answers here. I didn't dislike your response. I appreciated it. My mind was not made up; nothing in any of my comments or questions implies a made-up mind. One can only convey one's problem through a process of conveying one's understanding or misunderstanding. I conveyed my understanding and misunderstanding in good faith. I wrote nothing in disagreement with you, nothing to debate you, nothing to argue with you. Please don't reply to this if doing so wastes your time. I wish only to express good will. I apologize if I offended you: I did not intend to do so.
In peace,
Mark
