(Soundy is equally bemused at the number of responses to his "time of the

jump after every comment they perceive as non-PC... MUST we get into this

Ah, poor newbie. You too will soon learn, the ONLY way to kill a thread is to
ignore it. As in Star Trek, the more power you put into your shields, the
more their harmonic resonance will amplify the incoming energy wave. Quietly
letting it pass is the only thing that works. People get tired of posting to
a thread if no-one answers.
