> It's not an "idea". It's statistics. 

And in this statistical search of yours, point me to your source of data, and 
specific, not Google.  I am willing to see if you know what you are talking 
about.  Also point me in the direction of statistical data that refutes the 
contentions of Eberhard.

Then prove your point with statistics

I meant no offense; the name is not familiar with me; the definition is.

Actually I would love to contribute to the list.  I just know so little, I am 
just trying to learn.

I don't blame you; it was wise.  Nonetheless, some day I will be able to pass 
on some of the things I am learning.  I will.  At this point I am unable.

I also am not as bright as you or perhaps all the other posters, but I do 
recognize rude and unhelpful behavior.  I am old and will never be able to 
catch up to you about the use of computers, nonetheless I have 66 years of 
experience listening to people talk.  Most people who talk like you did not 
get enough spankings when they were children.

I am sorry Myriam; I will shut up now.  It is OT though.
