Why's that? Any particular reason why I should not use good |
| 27 |
programs? |

Nope. Not for that task. You know, unlike you, I'm more into |
| 40 |
using tools that are made for a task. |

Oh, you mean you couldn't resist an open invitation to make |
| 50 |
yourself look like a fool? You were quite successul in doing |
| 51 |
so, I've gotta say, by replying without knowing an answer - or |
| 52 |
did you just wanted to look like a moron? |
| 53 |
|
| 54 |

It would've been better if you would've just shut up right |
| 60 |

| 61 |
latter would be the preferred option, as far as I'm concerned. |
