It means that I do have an explanation for the problem, and stop acting
as if I am lying or something.  If you are unable to find it and interested in
more details, what you should have done is to ask me for the full article
instead of continuing the harassment campaign.  Here's an example
of a normal answer you should have given:
"I am working on Customize, and would appreciate your time if you can
provide the whole article, not just a pointer to internet, and maybe
additional comments instead."

Now you are expanding the issue, and asking for how autoload problem
directly affects the new wizard package, whereas my original mail was only
about defaults of custom-file, and your answer was about setq.  With
deflections like these, it is easy to doubt someone's intentions, so don't blame
me.
