My problem is that I couldn't understand what you were trying to say, so you didn't actually even manage to "tell your opinion". It just looked like random sniping with no actual meaning.

Any sensible objections / refutations welcome. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
