Peter, no use trying to talk to him. He has his mind made up and is correct
about EVERYTHING and belittles anyone trying to correct him. He changes his
posted name every so often to keep people from kill filing him. I guess
that I will be the next one on his list but really don't care. Once in a
while he does actually give good information but he is a professed pirate,
likes to tell people to go to crack sites to download "free" software, etc.
