Although you took my comment for trollbait, I was quite serious. Next time,
instead of tossing out an ad hominem, why not expound? Unlike a vast number
of Usenet participants who simply like to argue or offer inflammatory
comments for their own sake, I'll gladly concede your point if it's grounded
in reasonable argumentation.
