No need, really -- long posts are often good.  The problem here is not
the length but the fact that it does not answer my question.  It does
not answer my meta-question either (as to whether you will ever answer
it) except in so far as it adds more evidence that you won't.

Of course you cut the other question, *and* both claims to which my
questions relate.  Was that meant to make your posted code appear
relevant to the casual reader?  Shall I re-instate them or are you just
going to plough on saying new stuff until everyone forgets what you said
before?

Interesting program.
