	Eesh, getting testy for someone who egged on the jokes and criticism.
	I don't think that you're "pathetic, sad, and the like", but you did
step (far) out of the context of this ng.  This is about discussion of
the OpenGL API, not the classified ads.  People who do this frequently
and start messy, angry threads and are called trolls.
