I think you'll find not many people care about your personal views on
this topic, considering JF Mezei has a proven history of forming his
all-too-often misguided personal opinions based on rumor and wild
speculation rather than factual and real information. With that in
mind, it seems reasonable to ask him to do a little research of his own
when he asks such elementary questions here - for the greater good. : )
