Thanks for this, Colin. I don't know about you, but the responses to this (most of them, anyway) REALLY got on my nerves. I've responded, and if it sticks in your craw, too, maybe you'd like to. That's if you can find the time between frivolously spending tax-payers' hard-earned money and being helpless and pathetic, that is...
