Brevity. I routinely snip as much as I can while retaining the essence of
the statement. I indicate that I've snipped. That way people who haven't
seen the original have context, and people who have don't have to read it
again (which gets pretty tiresome after a while).


In this case you snipped too much, as the essence of the statement was not
retained. Nor did you indicate that you had snipped.



This raises in me another question, or perhaps several.

1: How should a pilot "concur"? Does an acknowledgement of the
suggestion and compliance therewith constitute concurrance?


A pilot concurs by complying with the suggested vector.



If so, what is the operational difference between a vector and a
suggestion, once the suggestion has been taken?


Once a suggested vector has been taken there is no difference between it and
one initiated by ATC.

In short, ATC can initiate vectoring of VFR aircraft wherever ATC is
required to separate VFR aircraft. The responsibility to separate brings
with it the authority to assign headings, routes, altitudes, etc.
