You know the most amusing part of your reply was to hijack the name of the 
thread to a device which has even less potential not to die a slow and 
painful death than the out-dated, completely useless, annoying, slow and now 
almost completely unsupported technology that your "genius" brain is telling 
you to cling on to you.  Well, good luck with that...

Can you please highlight my smirking?  It was a perfectly innocent question 
and I was actually quite hoping you would answer without the usual insults 
and guff that come back with but clearly I had let my guard down a bit 
there.  But again, please highlight the smirking.

Well that is utter bullshit on 2 levels.  The first claim is patently 
ridiculous and has been for at least 5-10 years and there is at least one 
idiot left who "cares to leverage" that imagined "functionality that only 
Java can provide" and we all know who that is.

Well, you are wrong about most things but let's just say that this is the 
first time you actually got something right, shouldn't that be telling you 
something?  Like WHY THE HELL ARE YOU HAVING ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE JAVA 
PLUGIN?  STILL???

By you?  Are you the moderator now?  I am sure in your "mind" you think you 
are.

Well this is one of the things that people do ask posters not to do: be an 
obnoxious tool.  You must have missed that part at moderator school.  And 
yes, I am still "there" (or here) but only to amuse myself every time you 
make a post where you are *still* trying to get applets to work and 
complaining that they only don't work because the entire world is against 
you.  It's really quite entertaining stuff although rather sad and pathetic 
at the same time.

> Stop grave-dodging and just bugger off!

Ah, now I know for sure it's the "real" Richard and not just an imposter.
