Oh, I have no problem with the OP's (anhnmncb) post at all - he's |
| 11 |
obviously been given wrong information by someone else. He even hints |
| 12 |
in his post that he's not sure if he should take it seriously or not. |
| 13 |
So I'm quite happy to give him the correct facts, but I didn't need to |
| 14 |
as several other people had already done it before me. |

I do have a problem with whoever gave him that wrong information. The |
| 17 |
only effective way to handle utter BS at the source is to call it as |
| 18 |
BS. It's rarely nice. |
