Ok, then give us just one example to back up your belief. Just one. And
next
time, do it before you start calling people dumb - because I am sure you
can't
find an example. Which, well, would make YOU look pretty dumb, wouldn't
it?


You know, Thomas, I don't know if it's a language thing, or what, but
calling an idea "dumb" is not the same as calling the person quoting the
article about the idea "dumb".

Try not to be so thin-skinned about this kind of thing -- this *is* usenet,
after all, and you, of all people, should be aware of the fact that getting
a point across to some people is all but impossible without resorting to
blunt language.

I always start off any thread as nice as pie. However, when posters
continuously (and, of course, purposefully) misconstrue what I'm saying (as
you are doing now), it gets aggravating. Only then will I resort to firmer
language that pretty much *can't* be misconstrued.

Yet, despite all this, I STILL have not called you "dumb"...

;-)

(Because, BTW, I certainly don't believe you are. I wouldn't waste my time
responding if I thought you were.)
