Colin, Unfortunately you responded to this idiot before I had a chance. I suggest reading my response.
EVERY forum has a village idiot. The total stupidity of this guy's posting is plain for all to see. He obviously has some mental issues, as he explains near the end of his posting. PLEASE don't let idiots impair our progress, The best advice when someone attacks you on a forum is to just ignore them, don't respond, and let others strangle the idiot.

Simply institute a six hour workday. That will easily create enough new jobs to bring back full employment. ------------------------------------------- AGI Archives: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/303/=now RSS Feed: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/rss/303/21088071-f452e424 Modify Your Subscription: https://www.listbox.com/member/?member_id=21088071&id_secret=21088071-58d57657 Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com
