A throw-away comment and easy to spot line of humour. If i cared that much
about his source I would have pursued it, but as i said, I don't really care
that much and was more concerned with the point MB made, that to accept that
level of failure is unacceptable.

Why are you trying to make a personal point over a group discussion? Odd
that you should single me out for an analysis of my responses in order to
confirm suspicions of my mental characterstics don't you think? Almost like
you are paying particular interest to me. Why is that?
It seems a little odd, don't you think? I don't get that feeling from any
other current poster... so the oversuspicion, paranoia diagnosis is out of
the window.
I've yet to see you perform an autopsy on any other thread and poster, but
i'll look forward to it, if only to prove to myself that you aren't paying
an unhealthy amount of attention to me. :-)
