MOST interesting comment from someone with a 13-year old's 
nickname (if it's your /real name/, my deepest sympathies) who 
(to my recollection) has never posted ANY advice, and who uses 
OE for newsgroups.

I am often wrong, and have no problem with admitting it when I 
am corrected by someone who knows what they're talking about.

But NO ONE is ALWAYS wrong or ALWAYS right - including you.

Now go fuck yourself.
