Frank will not answer your question. It isn't his style to be honest or
have a civil discussion. I have him kill filed and suggest you do the same.

You will never answer a question either. If you state something as fact and
you are called on it, you cry and moan that it isn't your responsibility to
provide proof. Therefore 99.999% of the so called facts you print are a
lie.

I'm interested because of the posters comment. Since no one has an
answer, I guess that win7 must be nothing more than a warmed over win95 -
very interesting.

To most educated people, answering a question and proving the answer are
two different things. In your Nymshifting World, I guess it's different.

No one has asked me a "real" question.

You are confusing education with intelligence. You must just be the most
educated idiot to come along in very long time.

In your Nymshifting World, I guess it's different.

In your world of pathological lying how can you tell the difference...if
you even can.

What else am I supposed to think? I gave you and frankie numerous chances
