I have nothing against one-liners in general if they relate information, or if
they express gratitude towards someone supplying the information orginally
needed. A few humourous ones don't harm either. But I dislike the incessant
editorializing approach you use, evaluating every argument as if it was a
competition, were you judge the quality and allocate points. In my opinion it's
in poor taste to do so in a discussion, unless you add further arguments to
strengthen the case at hand. The readers of a thread are capable of
understanding good points without subjective advise.

Of course, I can't force you to do anything you don't want to do. But since you
brought it up, I'll exercise my right to express an opinion on this subject.
Hopefully, in an unconfrontational way as I'm not even remotely close to being a
model poster in this forum. I'm just saying; if you stoop to my level of
argumentation, you're in trouble :o).

Best wishes...
Mogens
