im glad that you said it. cause if you wasnt going to i was. some people like
arguing for arguments sake but it takes two (or more) people to have an
argument. if no-one was to reply to an unwanted solicitation then that outlet
of expression will die a limp death. for people who enjoy vendettas and
slander the best medicine is to deny them the satisfaction of knowing that
they have produced a response. in other words dont respond to useless
verbatribe and it will dissapear like butter on a hot plate.
this is the only mail that you will see from me about this subject (no need
to regurgitate useless code)
best regards
