On the first three: each seems to be some combination of welcoming me to the group, and/or agreeing (at least tentatively) to the gist of what I said. If I'm right in my interpretation, then I think "thanks" covers it. If I'm wrong, please let me know.
The last two seem to be disagreeing with me. One difference: with one, I think I understand what we disagree about. With the other (by "opertet"), I'm not so clear about that.
But in both cases: each deserves some careful discussion. Sadly, I can't provide that right now: a simple matter of time. Perhaps I can come back to it later. But it's also possible that before I do, events will have moved on so that these particular questions no longer seem to have any practical relevance.
My apologies if this leaves anyone feeling frustrated. And I hope that, by declining to engage in this way, I am not violating any standards, written or otherwise, of conduct in this community.
