Sigh.
P.S. I find quite hard to understand why there are users who despite
consider my postings to be sort a "newbie killers" and "soft-mind
perverters" are still replying to them. The only conclusion I can reach
for this behaviour is that: 1/ my posts contain some kind of magnetic
material that inevitably attracts them (though I haven't have found any
trace of ferrite in the headers) or 2/ is just they want to make noise. I
will have to deeply think in which of the both options hold the true.
Mmmm...
