A thought or two on your post, Greg. In deference to your handy delete key,
let's take a longer term view regarding your post above. When the fog and
personal attacks all clear the hole, you are left with archives. In those
archives are *T*rsen* posts that people should be able to retreive with the
archive search engine, and those that belong in the 'sheisbin'. I just
finished a rather exhaustive search engine archive search on this very topic
(t*rsen) 1.3 years after-fog, and my experience is that the posts that you
feel belong in the 'sheishbin', just might, in the longer view (yours above
included). Hence the preference for a non-t*rsen Subject Header - off topic.
More specifically, seeing your post above coming up one of the first in the
archive search on <T*rsen>, must well you with pride.
See the point?
