I'm starting to think that you aren't actually reading what I'm writing
and are instead in the fantasyland where I've advocated something
other than doing what seems easiest and most convenient at the
time. In fact, you seem to be laboring under the false belief that I
have advocated the utter ruination of microsoft, its products, and
your way of life. Since I don't make a habit of that, and in any
event certainly haven't done so in this thread, I have to assume
that any further protestation on my part will only be met with a
correspondingly greater failure to comprehend on yours. As a
result, I'm bowing out. Thanks for the lively discussion.
