Since you're new here, I'll take the opportunity to ask you to check out the site guidelines (linked at the bottom of the page).

From those same guidelines: "If you flag something, please don't also comment that you did."

Also, to which guideline were you directing gregbair's attention? I fail to grok your meaning.
