Make that three.

PS: Many people consider it probably anal fixation to fix word wrapping
in use net postings, but I can't help it. Thanks to your hint, I'll have
much less to do for future postings. Another thing that I usually do is
to untangle the quotation authors (like I did in this post). Usually it
is not hard to figure out who wrote what, but if a posting contains more
quotes from older replies it sometimes gets hard to tell which part has
been written by whom. In such cases I tend to repeat the author's names
in front of their parts of the posting. SCNR

You have helped me in the past. I think I've thanked
you for that. Now you are wallowing in the mire.
That's not helpful.

Brian, you likely mean that Alf wrote in his post something that
you do not like. That makes communicating with fundamentalists
(like you) very hard ... your position is totally indistinguishable
from parody of itself.
