An 'argumentation' like the above is simply a killer phrase that ends every discussion. OTOH, absence of valid argumentation doesn't necessarily mean that your statement has to be wrong. I'm always willing to learn. Since you've also tried to correct me about constructive and polite behaviour - might I suggest that you add a few words about what is right in your opinion, when telling folks they are wrong? This would add to both, I guess. Cheers vt -- Volker T. Mueller Continum AG Bismarckallee 7d 79098 Freiburg i. Br.
