Why not just back down gracefully rather than pulling out arguments that are peripheral to the issue? It's not that difficult you know. All of us must do it some time. Check which direction we need to go in the pyramid of debate in the picture linked below - towards the apex, or towards what is appropriately referred to as "base" http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a11/cybersurg/pyramid.jpg It is easy to play a game in which one can irritate and provoke a response that rapidly sends any meaningful discussion downhill. Maybe that is what you desire - i.e to change the subject and muddle the issue enough so you come out feeling better at the end of it all. 90% of the people I know who call themselves ashok_ are stupid. How important or relevant is that fact here? shiv
