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...
