The post was on the same page as this response, but if you feel the need for me to quote it, again, I'll humor you.

The concerns of the tyranny of the majority by big population states no longer exists
The bold is yours, the underlined is mine. You state that Delaware and New York have the same interests, which are different from Wyoming. You then immediately follow that by stating "So the interests of the large population states are no longer different from the small population states." And that "The concerns of the tyranny of the majority by big population states no longer exists"
Wyoming is a small population state. There is no other way to read your statement, as written, other than Wyoming does not count. If that's not what you meant, then fine, I'll take you at your word. But if that's the case then you phrased your argument in this post in extremely poor terms.
