I think you’re maybe making it a lot worse by being deliberately coy? If you actually wanted to avoid derailing a thread, wink-nudge-hint wasn’t the way to go. I’m not even sure why it was necessary to mention your secret objectionable value at all if you truly didn’t want to talk about it.

Oh, of course I am. I’ve already derailed this with my momentary lapse in judgment, though, so I don’t see any harm in continuing to respond.
