This is another fine example of what happens when a reader does _not_ assume that what another poster wrote is correct or intended to impart some useful point of view. The lack of willingness to understand is just _staggering_ in Erann Gat, and his ability to find unreasonable things to attack is equally strong. He has found the Truth about me, and god damn me if I disagree with him or try to explain something that runs counter to this Truth. Somebody should come pick him up and cart him off to a mental institution. /// -- In a fight against something, the fight has value, victory has none.
