Sorry Hadron but you're ranting. I may be a loony (as you so cleverly
noticed) but I'm not the one who's ranting. You are. ;) As we said in the
60's, "A paranoid is someone in possession of all the facts." Have a nice
day, Hadron and don't forget to take your meds. You seem somewhat unstable
at the moment. ;)
