That was not rude at all, thank you for the reference to the FAQ. I largely got a satisfactory explanation there although points (b) and (c) might be controversial. 

The one point I find difficult to agree with is "(a) We can't help but make the information available, since Tor clients need to use it to pick their paths." If bridges can be hidden and provided to clients on as-needed basis, so can exits.
