I was surprised that someone with Richard L's level of technical
sophistication
would overlook that obvious factor, but given his obsession with my

I guess I can't blame the guy.

I think I recall the comment you mention, but it was by another
poster to the group -- not me. Perhaps you would care to check
back and verify that.

Stephen had written, which was in turn in response to this:

As to my comment at the end of my post, it was meant as humour.. perhaps
not the best, but humour nonetheless.
