I'd argue with "primarily," but since one other person has told me
privately that they think my response was wrong, I'll respond publicly
with my rationale.

1. His question is unlikely to get answered
2. ... at least in part because he mailed the wrong list
3. ... therefore I'm trying to manage expectations.

Now, oddly enough, I notice that my responses to the OP are a hot topic
of conversation, but no one has bothered to actually answer his
questions. Hmmmmm.....
