Really!
If Yahoo groups hadn't completely shut down last year, you could have read the discussion between Pind, Thiele & McClure*, on the Pali Discussion Group.

And you still haven't answered that petty point of grammar (compared to the importance of the real meaning(s) of paṭicca); namely:
"Do absolutives normally occur as first member in compounds?"
And boy! , I don't think that "meaning" is a waste of time — unless the intention of those who believe so, is to drag you for ever into indecipherable and nonsensical significances; sprinkled with endless petty points of grammar.
You can have all the good Pali grammar in the world — if the right meaning is not there, what is the use for it.
In the case of the OP wondering on responsability, I repeat:
Maybe that is what bothered you?Responsability to end the maintenance and establishment of consciousness — As well as ending the avijja nidāna, through a set of feedbacks, that put an end to the chain of downward (two ways) bonds — This is what is at stake.
This "feedback" straight or underlying meanings in paṭicca, paccaya & nidana - that leads to put an end to the things of this world.
- No more craving — no more maintenance and establishment of consciousness (with the endless vicious circle that ensues).
- No more saṅkhārā — no more avijjā.
