The OP has been making these claims on IRC for a while (at least two years). He has never cared to substantiate them, or even participate in a civil and detailed discussion.  He is either 1) smarter than all of us, or 2) woefully under-informed, or 3) trolling.  Our best course is to ignore him until he has code we can try.
