Steve we have now reached a problem. You insinuate complete madness or at least
ignorance on the opposing side, but you are still expecting reasonable answers?
As a psychologist I see a typical problem caused by your somewhat humpty dumpty
writing style. Not that this couldn't be answered correctly. But you must admit
it's kind of masochistic if one wanted for more of that sort.
