Ok, there, you've had your say. I totally disbelieve in above text,
but rather than attempt to refute it I'm going to attempt to demonstrate
something I think more people should be doing here, which is resisting
replying to a pointless thread. I propose that we drop this thread (even
though one could argue that is on-topic) so that (a) we can stop the
exodus of people who probably have useful contributions to make to the
newsgroup and (b) so that you will stop feeding this particular troll.
