Thank you! The response is disappointing, but it doesn't sting. Sometimes this approach works, so I was hoping it would, but I felt the likelihood was low here, and was preparing myself for worse, such as an angry personal attack. The part that stung was the original comment, then the ensuing disappointment, and the time and energy suck of figuring out what to say. But I'm kind of glad to have that settled and not put any further emotional investment in that group of people. Maybe next time, I'll know when to just snark immediately and then walk away without a second thought.
