      And you think that Marina will understand the idea of binning?   
      
      I'm even sorry that I responded. The best thing we can do when confronted   
   with silly comments that are this far off the wall, is to completely ignore   
   them. Otherwise we begin to dignify messages from people like this who have   
   obviously done absolutely no background research, have no understanding of   
   even the basic principles underlying fuzzy logic, and cast their   
   observations in terms of some kind of fact instead of a question.
