Nobody ever claimed anything like that. You understood someone else to have implied that, but that doesn't mean they _claimed_ it. Get your frigging facts right before your lack of precision in blaming people for something they didn't do gets someone killed or hurt. You know what I _do_ hate, Dirk Zoller? Intellectual laziness. #:Erik -- I agree with everything you say, but I would attack to death your right to say it. -- Tom Stoppard
