Short segment would have been tolerable but it dragged on forever.

Cuomo never tells them off, even when appropriate. He wants to earn their trust so they'll return. I don't mind the tactic, if that's what it is. He often gets the juicier stuff on the return visit.

... and that inspired the response I wrote to you, which was really directed at the OP, using you as a reflector for my beam.

You put it well, that in a true sense if we can't please ourselves with our writing it is not likely to amuse others.

A tip of the hat to you. And welcome to DU.

I just wanted to make it clear that my method was to deliberately misunderstand, with no intent of criticism of the op.

Fortunate writers have the benefit of an editor to rein them in. I can only count on my inner editor.
