You might extend your lines of research to determine exactly whom it is useful to argue with.
There are some here, Moen one of them, with whom there is no point debating. They are often a good read if you are interested in the topic, but you would have a better chance of changing the Ten Commandments than their viewpoints.
If you are in the pit fighting for points, rock on! If you are trying to establish a meeting of minds to come to conclusions on this, try scrabble with multi-universe dictionaries instead; has better probabilities for success. You cannot out-bombast Moen. Can't. It's a waste of bandwidth.
Please extend your talents and intellect into other topics. You\ufffdre pretty good.
Please let this die on the vine. It\ufffds over. Karsten will come back or not. It\ufffds his choice. He must be aware that he is still welcome. He must be equally aware that some think he is a pain in the ass. He should be used to that by now.
I only note parenthetically that I quite recently have DSL at home, so I can tolerate the right-shift with little pain. A couple of weeks ago, this would have been a severe pain in my ass. Mercy should be given to the low bandwidth guys. If you are going to continue, you might consider starting a new topic like, oh, \ufffdYAN really BIG tempest in a teapot: be prepared to wait for loading\ufffd, 'cause this can grow indefinably. And it will.
You have acquitted yourself well; now quit while it is still your choice. Please. You done good. It\ufffds out of your hands. There are no more points to make. Let it wind out quietly and hopefully some dignity.
Cheers,
Hugh
