Before making such completely baseless comments and pulling random numbers out of thin air, please inform yourself of what this discussion is about. And thanks to everyone else that commented about tabs in this thread for showing once more lusers have no clue what is good for them or for anyone.

Es ist nie daran zu denken, dass die Vernunft populaer werde. Leidenschaft und Gefuehle moegen populaer werden, aber die Vernunft wird immer nur im Besitze einzelner Vorzueglicher sein." uriel
