Dave, i am never a pacifist, you of all people should never start
assuming things about others. What is alien to me is completely
unknown to you. So don't become a magician all of a sudden simply
because i direct you to read again the reports of Foroyaa. The way you
see the coverage and how you interpret is up to you. We see things
diffierently, but anyone who tries to pretend foroyaa is not being
funny here is avoidin the obvious issues raised. By the way, address
me as suntou if that is not of any trouble. Thanks
