Posts from Martin are somewhat of a special case. If you check the archives you'll find he has a long history of responding with something that looks reasonable if you don't know the subject matter but is often complete and utter nonsense. To be fair, he does - occasionally - produce a valid, useful response. Many of us have tried to offer suggestions to Martin as to how he might improve the quality of his responses. When I tried, I used his answers from a thread where he was particularly wide of the mark to offer examples of how he could improve. I was met with hostility and an insistence that he was right and I was wrong. While I don't always get things right (and there is plenty of evidence of that in the archives) I am happy to admit when I get things wrong. This wasn't one of those times. While most of us simply ignore posts from Martin, someone does sometimes find it necessary to step in and point out the various errors in his posts. This is primarily to protect folks searching the archives at some point in the future wasting their time following some of the more off the wall suggestions put forward. If I thought it would actually achieve anything, I'd unsubscribe him from the mailing list and ban him from re-joining but that is very likely to turn into a rather pointless game of wack-a-mole as all he'd have to do is get another gmail address and sign up again.
