Whatever. Believe me, I'm more tired of this thread than everyone
that keeps continuing it on my behalf. Actions speak louder than
words, after all. If you want it to stop, stop. It's pretty damn
simple. In any case, I'm done with it. To whomever it may still
concern, please send all further traffic regarding this nonsense
to /dev/null. That is surely what I will do with it.
All the same... best regards (still),
