Dave, This thread was already coming to a close, and your post did not add anything constructive. If you are too lazy to learn other platforms, that's your prerogative, and you're welcome to ignore this whole thread. That's how a mailing list works - if you're interested in the thread, you read it, if not, you skip it. Posting comments saying that you're not interested in a particular thread doesn't help anybody.
