I already knew how they worked. But I just exercised that knowledge
again.
I don't care about the OT stuff, except when it goes political. It
sickens me that so much uninformed claptrap is spewed based solely on
emotion, lack of coherent thought, and on complete and utter sheep
mentality.
It wasn't that the topic had gone OT on the other list I left, it was
because it headed into areas that were totally based on opinion rather
than fact. This thread has been no different in that regard.
Good day.
