"David Kastrup" <dak@xxxxxxx>

And as to the "rude" part: I tend to consider it not the height of
politeness if people completely disregard my arguments and "reply"
something that has no bearing whatsoever to what I wrote.

David, in my opinion you are by far the rudest
person who regularly posts to this newsgroup.

Moreover, it is clear from your posting that
you are attempting to control the discussion.

This is a great pity, particularly as you have
evident technical strengths and committment.
