In the midst of all that bickering there could have been one or two points of actual interest. Unfortunately I didn't see Mark's comment until I pruned back the extended discussion. In the future please flag your answer for moderators attention if you would like to preserve the comments until you have time to review them and edit your answer appropriately.
