Well, once you've fished your head out of your ass, maybe you can go and
actually read what I posted, and my points.  I've found my blood pressure
doesn't rise as much when I read things I disagree with in an objective
point of view.  I'm sure you'll disagree with me when you're done (as our
viewpoints obviously differ), but you can at least do so after actually
having read what I posted instead of looking for an excuse to whine.
