- David, perhaps you didn't notice the :=) :=) :=) in the post.
- This indicates humor or sarcasm. Take a deep breath.

- There is a viable reason. Long-winded arguments about Which
- System Is Better belong in the .advocacy groups, not here, as a
- previous poster already pointed out. How would you respond if I
- posted a restaurant review here, or asked about the equation used
- to calculate warp factors in Star Trek, or started an abortion
- debate/flamewar? "A place for (most) everyt'ing, and (most)
- everyt'ing in its place."

- I'm a BMUG member, and I *hate* their .sig!
