You know, I haven't posted anything about this subject to this list 
itself - such discussions are probably better suited for -advocacy. In 
any case, I did some checking ...

Hmmm, let's see, Anthony Atielski, 30 posts on this subject alone, on a

Anyway, if you feel that way then let the thread die, or take it to 
-advocacy.
