That's a perfect demonstration of the kind of passive-aggressive crap
that drives me batty, Bryan. You've chosen to go on a needless crusade
again, when everything I've said was clearly marked as "not first-hand",
simply because I haven't slavishly memorized everything you've said
about the subject and taken it all as Holy Writ. Guess what: To those
of us on this list, your first-hand experience IS second-hand hearsay.
That makes it EXACTLY as useful to us as second-hand hearsay gained from
other sources.
