My "work" is to (a) defend myself against outright lies, which are only produced
by Vincent here with regard to me (of course he also attacks others, but I am
only talking about me here);  (b) prevent such outrageous technically incorrect
statements made by him from being taken at face value;  (c) tit-for-tat.  He
likes to quote (or misquote actually) me all the time, I thought I would return
the favor, except that I quoted him _exactly_.  Not via false versions of what
he says...

If I am an "average poster" that at least puts me way above him, which is good
enough for the present...
