  Well I really didn't see anything to respond to, one poster called me a
Salesman or something for hiarcs, I didn't want to dignify this with a response
and still don't see a need to, others simply agreed with my statement so there
wasn't anything futher to say.. since when is it odd not to give a  response? I
think someone also ask me to give proof for my statement about hiarcs strength,
again I didn't think this was neccessary since it was subjective and I stated so
"my feeling is"...but regardless none of this warrants someone calling a post
"useless" would this not offend you?
