Damn it Rich and C.J., Don't either of you know the unwritten Usenet
rules?
Once an argument has started it *MUST* escalate into a flame war, in
which it is *REQUIRED* that one of the parties make derogatory
personal remarks about the other, after which it is *MANDATORY* that
the other compare the first to Hitler or a Nazi. At which point one
of many NetCops is *COMPELLED* to try to invoke Godwin's Law.
Following that, of course, are the *OBLIGATORY* postings of Godwin's
Law corollaries.
Acting civil is going to spoil the reputation of this newsgroup.
So - sue my a$$, you **&*&^%^% brown-shirted hippie!
And have a good day.
