Well, depends how you define "respond". If you define it as
"to reply", you're right. If you define it as "to react", as in "his
back injury has failed to respond to treatment", then I'm right. If
Google "acts", you can consider that a "response", in which case they
"respond".

Getting back to you on an old topic:

About reading PDF files on the monitor: the print is too small. Make
it bigger, you say. Now you've split pages, which is especially
annoying with two-column pieces and figures. And figures are usually
blurry and even harder to read. (Maybe it's partly caused by my cheap
ViewSonic monitor at work.) And it almost never comes up the right
size in the first place so as to have one page per screen. Basically a
no-win situation, unless you print it.

OK.
