Theo,

Would you please, just once, not take up your holy avenger?  What's the
point?  Unless you care to offer proof of any claims, they are irrelevant,
and less than worthless.  If it takes extra effort for you to share your
finds, then don't.  This continuous taunting is tiresome and immature.
Shut up just once in your life.
