Not once. Check the | archive on google.

Yadayada. How much RAM do you really need to do that thing? Incidentally, have you considered how much the first two sentences above might apply to yourself? I guess not. "Apply to myself" does not compute. Just for the record: You are not a newbie. You are only incredibly annoying and won't go away, and you feel abused much more than you are, and then you abuse in return. This is doubly annoying. Usually, this kind of behavior is associated with newbiehood, but you have been around a long time, so you cannot use yourself as evidence of your claim, OK? -- In a fight against something, the fight has value, victory has none. In a fight for something, the fight is a loss, victory merely relief. 70 percent of American adults do not understand the scientific process.
