Richard,

We've told RTS (Richard the Stupid) this many times but he never learns.
 Then he comes back and insults people who try to help him.

That's the reason the regulars in this newsgroup aren't telling him.
We're tired of him arguing (like he is with me earlier in this thread -
and he's ALWAYS wrong) and insulting the rest of us.

And of course he NEVER apologizes.

Just search this newsgroup for RTS and look at some of the threads.
You'll get an eyeful.
