Dear Chad,
You took "literally" what I wrote distorting all its meaning. I
don't know if you did it in purpose because you though that I
quoted you to debate with you. Sorry if I made think you that.
Anyway I have the feeling that you will do it again if I try to
explain you with other words what I really meant, falling in an
infinite loop.
Surely other people understood what I meant (at least Da Rock
did); with one person I consider myself lucky. Besides, you
know, my Tarzan's english is not worthy of the occasion :-). My
fault, from now I will restrict my posts here to technical
issues.
Thanks for your patience and sorry for the misunderstanding.
Walter
