Next time you feel the need to resurrect a week-old thread, and feel
the need to do it both rudely and not contributing anything of
substance, please follow these steps:
1. Write out your reply
2. Wait 5 minutes
3. Press the discard or cancel button.

so you can get it out of your system but spare the rest of the world
your inappropriate dribblings.
