I'm not the CCC police, I am just an ordinary member. One of the moderators
pointed out one deficiency in your original post. You seemed unable to see
that there was another, namely that it had no content. To put this more
clearly, just saying that you think someone is nuts is not (in my view)
an appropriate post in this forum. I pointed out this second deficiency.
However, what I wanted was to ensure that the ratio of useful posts (like
the one you responded to) to less-useful posts (like your response) remains
high in this forum. However, all I've done is to generate a whole thread
of non CC posts; perhaps we should agree to differ and both stop wasting
everyone's time?


Andrew

PS I don't think telling someone to "bug off" is very appropriate either. :-)
