Peter:

Some of the times I didn't answer, I prepared the situation by writing
to the effect that unless the other person presents new information,
that I will not answer. Then by my silence I indicated that he has
merely repeated what I have already dismissed, that he has not
answered my objections, therefore my final statement stands. Sometimes
silence is itself an answer.
