I appreciate your measured response and I certainly agree that there can be other points of view besides the American, believing as I do that everyone has the right to be wrong. ;)

Arrogance has never bothered me when it's backed by competence.

A classic quote. If it is original I shall use it and attribute it to you! <Edit> I see it is not original.[^] </Edit> Still good though.

Which is merely English of 3 centuries ago. And sicne it predates the English spoken in England today... English is already a dogs dinner of a language. No amount of misuse could make it any worse. :)

Re: The Lounge, and some of you. Here's what I have to say about it, in detail: http://cqvis.zxq.net/CMT/POH1.html[^]
You write a long post about some politcal idea saying that this "they" everyone is worried about should be allowed to access your SQL data to a forum that explicitly forbids political discussions and discourages long posts, when you could have just as easily marked your post as long and posted it in a forum that allows political discussion. Then you get so angry when people take the piss out of you for transgressing the rules that you feel compelled to write a website highlighting the flames you recieved, thus reiterating the association of your name with the phrase "disconnected, paranioa raddled consciousness". Overreact much?

Dave, do you really think I would spend enough time on a site that used tweety-birds as avatars??? X| I am sure that neither the thought nor the phrasing is particularly unique to me, and it's possible that I have forgotten reading it, but I assure you that I am quite sure that I was not inspired by that site. Show me one with Sylvester on it and that's a possibility. ;)

Thanks for finding that dead link for me. I probably wouldn't have noticed that for another month, at least.
