Whatever. This is obviously pointless. Don't let the facts mess with  
what you want to believe.

Because you couldn't support your claims back then either I guess.

Either way, if you could be arsed to support your claims in a halfway  
coherent manner ( other than "that's not what it is because I say  
so" ) we wouldn't have this - uhh - 'discussion'. I'm not even saying  
you're wrong, just that what you claim doesn't follow from what we  
know about this ( or rather, what we knew when this thing started ).

have fun
