Sorry. I can accept this in the sense of not insisting on reopening the bug. 
I can NOT accept it in the sense of apprehending the argumentation.

Excel (What about recent versions?) may be a nightmare even more than I
expected. To nonetheless regarding it a standard on the level of an actual
specification based on a document more than 14 years old (of 2004-04-16) is
absurd.  

We had the case about TEXTJOIN() a while ago where you and others claimed an
unacceptable behaviour of Excel and praised it nonetheless a "standard" without
actally knowing how Excel behaved in reality. Finally you fixed the bug. 

I will not get any influence on the document foundation concerning the lines of
development. 

I WILL remain the one to decide if I continue wasting time with my most likely
hopeless attempts to sopport open and free software by offering help in formus
and by reporting bugs or hinting an algorithm. 

Lots of points against already on the account.
