Except that as far as I can see, Erik is right. And while it was probably
not done out of a deliberate desire to mislead, that doesn't make it any
less inaccurate and wrong. *That's* why I've suggested Roy should be more
descriminate in his postings, thereby avoiding mistakes like this. Even if
he isn't a liar, it can easily make him look like one to the less
well-disposed.
Are you really so bent on attacking Erik that you ignore the facts?
