This is Usenet.  Please do not only post URLs of resources which you *think* 
support your position (for the dedicated reader to switch medium to find out 
whether it really does), but *make an argument* using the resource as 
reference (best by citing it *and* quoting the relevant parts).  Refer
to Stefan's posting for a good example how that can be done.
