   What's telling is that nospam's IQ is at least double that of Alan's.   
   And Alan's is around 40 where he disputes everything that _nobody_ else   
   would dispute - purely because that's the nature of people like that.   
      
   Most people would strive to _add value_.   
   But what Alan Baker strives for is to _subtract_ value from every post.   
      
   Each time Alan strives to subtract value, it's always for one reason.   
   Because Alan Baker's self esteem is (rightly so) in the toilet.   
      
   That's the _only_ reason Alan Baker posts to Usenet.   
   Just watch.   
   --   
   Usenet is where friendly people daily gather to discuss topics of interest.
