I don't understand what you're trying to say, as it was you who accused me of
making derogatory remarks about Uri's abilities. Accusations without basis in
reality I might add. I fail to see why I should enlighten you about all contents
of this thread and subthreads just because you accuse me of something.

Given that 10 minutes of thought on your part would have prevented me from
repeating myself or state the obvious, I still consider it to be a purely
argumentative reply. On top of that you expect me to provide you with a summary
of the entire thread and subthreads to validate/repeat my own opinions. That is
neither my job nor my hobby. That's definately EOD on my part.

Mogens.
