WHAT!?!?!?!?! (and yes, I'm bellowing on purpose). You say something I know to
be incorrect, but I'm not allowed to correct you? What should I do? Let
incorrect information rest in the archives uncorrected? Allow others not certain
on this point to get the wrong impression? You made a factual mistake, and I
corrected that fact. If you view that as a personal attack, then I am, quite
frankly, amazed..

will report on any problems I have.
