As for your claim that I am either goading you or am a 'literal-minded
idiot', I am not attempting to goad you, and I am attempting to understand
your arguments to the extent that my mind can. I would suggest that if you
wish to assault my motives or my intelligence that you do so in email,
so that you won't waste net.bandwidth.

Have a nice day, Peter, and don't use any code from someone else unless
you check the copyright first.
