   Whatever sheer stupidity you want to blindly believe. I really can't be   
   bothered going arounf the same circle yet again with yet another   
   dimbulb who doesn't understand "same" and "different". Just don't come   
   crying to me when you buy "Strawberry Jam" at the supermarket to get it   
   home and find it's really tomato sauce ... hey, they're both red,   
   sticky semi-liquids, and made from a red fruit, so they must be the   
   same thing.   :-\
