- Well. It's been a whole three days since I last said something on this
- newsgroup, and now I see 500 articles. To warm up, I shall jump into
- this thread with a reply to Steve Adams' post, and who knows? Maybe I'll
- even throw in an unprovoked personal attack on him as well, to show I'm

- perfectly aware of the common counter-arguments, that they are being
- amply discussed in other threads, and that your efforts would be more
- well-directed there.
