By continuing to not even move one inch from his statements that "all
systems calls on the Amiga involve message passing", after an overwhelming
numer of people tried to convince him that HIS generalization doesn't
apply, Peter has shown that he has the brain of a 5-year old, that can't 
even admit when he f***s up.  Arguments like the one above (note, no
smileys), are the food of spoiled brats.

Grow up, dude.
