No. My response was to what you posted rather than to what you wanted to have posted.

As to the rest of your errors, I will let you open a thread to discuss them rather than perpetuating a further hijack of this thread.

Hahahaha.

You were all in on the hijack until it finally sunk in that all that you could look forward to  
was a good old fashioned ass kicking.

Go slink on off into a corner and lick your wounds.

If you are more interested in insults than in a discussion, take it to The BBQ Pit.  
Note that I am perfectly willing to engage is a discussion, but have only indicated that you should open a new thread if that is your intention, rather than continuing this hijack.
