unfortunately, like with
most polite requests,
people do whatever they
want anyway. or, al-
though the "compliance
level" of sophistication
is low, they just don't
have what it takes to
get the job done.
einstein "nailed" it
regarding only 2 things
being infinite: the
universe and stupidity;
and he wasn't sure about
the former.
luck.
kthxbye.
