Obviously its your choice :) Please stop posting this crap. Dimitar asked a serious question, and I for one would certainly like to be able to give him a serious answer.

Once Dimitar posts his test program, we'll be able to generate a more clear picture about what's really happening. Until then, please control the ranting.
