Just because his opinion differs from yours? No personal offend. But there are or have been quite a lot of people here - I would even say, most of the people who are currently screaming the loudest - who are calling other people troll, while being trolls themselves, and shout for banning those people just because those people have different opinions and they can't bear other opinions. If you want to ban one of them you should ban both of them. Of course, this thread is very long. Of course, there's a lot of off-topic in this thread. Of course, there are a lot of pointless and silly e-mails in this thread. Nevertheless there are a lot of interesting and helpful information in this thread. And I think everybody has a right to say his opinion, even if he doesn't have a detailed, technical "proof" of his opinion. And if people can't bear other people's opinions they should think about themselves and not ban the others. Btw., there have been some other long threads on this mailing list as well as on other mailing lists. All of those threads eventually came to an end. And I'm pretty sure that this will be the case with this thread, too. Heiko
