Anyone who's been part of this list for longer than you (i.e. more than a couple of weeks) knows this to be absolute bullshit. There are some REAL knowledgeable folks here who have plenty to offer but you've annoyed most of them into silence. The proof is in the archives. Nothing left for you to do but leave and/or change your name (once again?) so that you appear in our inbox instead of the trash bin. G
