The reason I made the comment I did was to see what kind of response I would
get and who would make the comment. I wasn't trying to ridicule your site,
I was just a little bored and wanted to have a little fun by ruffling a few
feathers. You fell into the trap. What more can I say?

Keiner ist hoffnungsloser versklavt als derjenige, der irrt�mlich glaubt
frei zu sein.
There are none more hopelessly enslaved then those who falsely believe they
are free!
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749-1832)
