      The ordered list in that comment serves no purpose, as the items are not even properly grouped. It just hurts readability.

        They are grouped by topics 1 respondent, 2 politics, 3 literacy confirmation, 4 thesis, 5 warning, 6 intersection check, 7 commentary, 8 openness to dialogue

          So, at the very least:

          • 1 and 2 pertain to the same topic. 2 even continues the same sentence.
          • 4 and 5 should be grouped together, as 5 refers to 4.
          • 6 and 7 should be grouped together. In part because they both are just regurgitation of propaganda made by y the same people that sold you on Nayirah’s testimony, Iraq WMDs and the like. (Also, have to chuckle at the “campism” but when you very openly engage in pro-NATO campism.)
          • Just using standard paragraphs and not an ordered list would be more readable, since you are not enumerating anything, nor is there a good case for referring to each of these items by the numbers outside of the conversation about how useless the ordered list is here.
