Which is also irrelevant, because (1) I am not responsible for your behaviour and (2) someone else's behaviour does not make it OK for you to misbehave.

And as usual, JDG tries to take the easy way out... :-( Maybe I can figure it out myself, but it is *you* who makes the claim, so it is *you* who should provide the data. But unless you actually provide that data (which is highly unlikely), the only conclusion can be that you do not have that data and are therefore making statements that are not based on facts (which is not all that unlikely).
