Have you really not read past the Whistleblower Manifesto or are you
just pretending not to have read any posts in the group?

Hi BeAr. Chris Millbank ("rotfl") is being too funny. When he's losing
an argument his M.O. is to make some unbelievable comment in order to
create a distraction.

I've found the simplest way to avoid getting distracted is to treat /all/
his comments as insane ravings. Works for me!

Just in case you missed it the first time, I dispute the post "The Great
$Pricelessware$ Racket" in its entirety.

It is the work of a lunatic author who proclaims deviant views and it is
riddled with errors and mistruths. To debate those falsehoods would give
them far more credence than they deserve.

"viscously attacked".

Chris, please keep your disgusting viscous fluids to yourself.
