I'm not saying that at all and that'd be the silliest
position to support anyway. We all know better than that.
All I was saying is *every* position on the subject was
expressed about two months ago in the thread that wouldn't
die even in the clear evidence of an exponential decrease in
quality of responses on the subject and I don't things have
changed significantly since then.
No biggie, I can delete when the quality of respones
degrades below my threshold of ability to carry on
reading... :-)
