My strong impression or educated guess is that "Cheetah" has showed up on this board not to offer support, but to incite a flame war, and this is why I expressed the opinion that stating the facts would not be worthwhile here. I don't feel it's worthwhile to argue with people who are closed to ideas that conflict with their own.

Thanks.

That's fine, don't argue with them. But don't accuse them of being "closed to ideas", either!
Besides, it *might* be worthwhile to try to educate them. This is something that's come up before, starting with:

And even if you don't have an impact on that poster, you might have an impact on those who read that post later...
