I don't get from here to there. Reread this part and you'll see it.

This is just to mention, that w3m is still more useful than links
_even_ if you aren't convinced by usability arguments. Anyone who has
ever read your messages understands that you have your own understanding
of usability and human-machine interfaces. I understand that an argument
of embeddability and reusability may not convince you as well, but it is
worth a try at least.

Because you don't make an impression of a fool, and I don't see other
probable explanation to why you wrote what you did.

I think I stop here, this has gone too far off topic.
