b). @Alfred's responses will be posted as 'Unlisted' in reply to the person who asked the question in order to not jam up the firehose.

c). @Alfred understands context from previous statements in the convo. So you don't have to re-iterate or spell things out.

d). He says he'll be watching the #Movienight tonight.
