What beats me is why NoNoBadDog would talk about things he's totally
clueless about in a way to suggest he's the ultimate "white paper" -reading
expert.

I also have a strong suspicion a few others in this thread are sock puppets
of the same physical person. The similarties in the use of obscene
language, self-contradiction, talking about things one does not know much
about while insinuating expertise, and helplessness in looking up simple
public-domain facts are too striking to be random.

I will therefore excuse myself from this thread. Hope it was helpful to
someone.
