It's simply a matter of practicality. We responded to each and every paragraph, at first, but if we continued to respond to every one (I don't like picking sentences out of paragraphs in fear of losing important context) then our posts would be prohibitively long. Also, in this thread, many of the paragraphs have similar themes and we'd be needlessly repeating ourselves by responding to each one...
