I must admit a lapse of mine - until this morning I was embarrassingly 
unaware of the actual definition of the adjective 'content' [1]. I have 
been using it incorrectly to express a state of "acceptance with 
tangible reservations, but not enough of them to express any 
objections". Or in other words "on the negative side, between silent and 
dissenting", whereas it actually seems to sit "on the positive side of 
silent, short of clear expression of joy".

The rest of my message remains as is.
