-
- I was the original poster of "PLEASE STOP". The reason I was fed up with
- it was:
- 1) a misleading title &
- 2) the debate had become pointless, it was like two kids sitting there saying
- "I know you are, but what am I?" to each other.
-
- All I wanted was the information orginally posted, which was promptly
- sent to me by the person who started the thread and he said that even he
- was getting tired of it.
-
- But this is going to be my last input in the matter because I can see
- that this thread is going to get just as pointless...
