Paul, It is that simple. Read the post you just responded to. We'd be more than happy to listen to you if you can convey useful technical knowledge. You've become embroiled in a political debate/fight and most of us couldn't care less about this. If you have technical contributions please send them. But none of us are interested in deleting more "advertising" that we've seen repeatedly for the past three years... as far as I can tell you haven't said anything new in two years. I've never seen you post a technical answer to anyone. Please stop sending the (repetitive) advertisements. And take your kindergarten level fight with Justin and company somewhere else (it's old news).
