Devolution into a bottomless cesspool of contrived and meandering arguments is a painful (okay, perhaps occasionally amusing) spectacle to behold. But, to witness arguments brazenly concocted of baseless assertions on a*technical* list is genuinely pathetic. Paul, Pete, et. al, if you feel compelled to proffer anything remotely non-obvious as a fact in this and similar forums, at least have the decency (excepting the existence of a pre-existing independent referable source) to fire up vi, wordpad, etc... and slap together a QAD web page purporting to verify said 'facts' which you may then refer to. Besides, citations and references (even when entirely bogus) make you look all cool and scholarly-like. For those of us so inclined, we also then have the opportunity to reasonably consider your argument. Otherwise, STFU. -josh _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
