>if all you've got is a vague recollection of stuff you read ages ago
I didnt say "vague", you added that. Kindly don't.
And I said "earlier", not "ages ago". That "earlier" could span a wide range of times ago. How did you manage to make the jump from my "earlier" to your wrong interpretation, "ages ago? That is sloppy / inaccurate thinking / writing.
In fact, it sounds more like misrepresentation than misinformation, which is even worse. Don't do it.
(Howdja like my wordplay up there? ;)
Dude (as in dude on a dude ranch, meaning a rank newbie), take a piece of advice: don't try to punch above your level, or, in other words, don't bring a knife to a gun fight.
Your arguments are pathetic and fake.
And, as a knockout blow: I noticed that you avoided replying to my above point about my use of "earlier" vs. your absurdly wrong (or intentionally fake) interpretation of it as "ages ago". That was either stupid or cowardly of you.
End of this subthread for me. I don't waste my time arguing with fakes and cowards. Rant on, if you like, into /dev/null.
