I have Chip, the correction was for the benefit of the [ lonesw0rdman
newbie ] O/P not Scumball whose adjacent but not necessarily connected
baincells leads him to walk hand in hand with himself through the
USENET portals beset by a whole range of discontents and confusions.
Redemption was offered but he chose not to respond with anything other
than his own corrosive central conceit that he is right, I'll always
go the xtra mile to protect a ' newbie ' - and Scumball needs to
re-serve his apprenticeship.
I'll resist talking a pig into a ham sandwich and let the
AC97/Soundstorm issue with Scumball go.
