With regard to your second point, though - 'obsessive' wouldn't refer

proving the individual wrong that we would find the true definition of
the word.

I disagree!

I am simply persistent. I offer strong opposition to some of
the errors of fact and reasoning presented here by Len and others.

Len gets all upset by that, and attacks the messenger (me).

Is it unacceptable behaviour for me to be persistent about getting some
things right (such as whether or not Novices and Advanceds can
renew and modify their licenses without retesting)?

I can't control someone else's posting of information and reasoning
that is in error. But I can refute it with facts and clear logic,
and resources permit I do just that. Hardly obsessive, IMHO.

You were quite persistent in coming up with proof that I was
mistaken about the use of the word "feldwebel". It's clear that
the person to whom that rank was attributed never held it. Was
that "obsessive" on your part? I don't think so, just persistence
in getting something right.
