If a Problem exists, and has been discussed for years, then it's self-evident
that there is disagreement, i.e. that different people see it differently.
There is no one source or one 'authority'.
What does exist, and is indisputable, is that YOU, Constantly BUTT INTO
Threads, with stupid comments on things you know nothing about!
You read without comprehension, you misquote, mislead, & attack Posters,
presenting NO evidence yourself. I suspect people with knowledge can
fight their own battles without your assistance.
