    Rafael, you're new here, right?  Want to know how I can tell?

    1: This topic comes up from new posters on average of once every 2-3
weeks.  Just enough time for recriminations to fly, accusations metted out and
tempers to flare then all die out.

    2: You're not aware of how many people reactive negatively to Karl.

    I recommend you sit back for 3 months and see how accurate the above two
are before offering reading advice to anyone who is still attempting to deal
with Karl.
