Oh well, but I am replying here because I think some people actually read
these gigantic threads.  If you don't want to read a message, don't read it!
This list would be empty if not for some of these threads.  Take a look and
count the messages that are actually on topic.


I am sure that this was addressed to me and a few others in particular.
Well, if you haven't noticed, as we continue in our threads, there are many
other people who suddenly pop in with a comment or suggestion.


Please don't take this as a flame (as I would have sent that to your private
email), but your message pissed me off a bit.
