Joey0101,

I am confused as to what your response references and why it was made 41
days after the original posting/set of responses that seem to be in the part
of the thread you are replying to.

I am sure you have a reason to attack 'Ritter197' or DatabaseBen' or
'Ted Zieglar' or 'Tom Willett' - but I must be missing that reason in this
thread/part of it. Can you enlighten me?
