Lemme ask you a question...  what is it about you that expects anyone to 
believe you know what you talking about?  Do you have some professional 
cred that we don't know about?  If you do, tell us where we can find it 
and hope we do.  Your point was made a long time ago and I'm sick of 
hearing the same thing from you over and over and over like a broken 
record.  We get it!!

Or we could both go **** ourselves and be happy the rest of the day.
