Dear Chad, You took "literally" what I wrote distorting all its meaning. I don't know if you did it in purpose because you though that I quoted you to debate with you. Sorry if I made think you that. Anyway I have the feeling that you will do it again if I try to explain you with other words what I really meant, falling in an infinite loop. Surely other people understood what I meant (at least Da Rock did); with one person I consider myself lucky. Besides, you know, my Tarzan's english is not worthy of the occasion :-). My fault, from now I will restrict my posts here to technical issues. Thanks for your patience and sorry for the misunderstanding.
