Nandric, In the context of my post where I tried to re-state Raul's critique of Vinny, I of course agree with Raul; Vinny's question was badly phrased.  But I think Vinny is a "troll", from beginning to end.  So, in that way, his question was well put. He got what he wanted out of it.

As you also know, I and Raul disagree on many other issues.  I refuse to take it very seriously.

@lewm your just @rauliruegas apologist. What are you his interpreter and mind reader?
Both Your rhetorics are appauling and act are wearing thin. You both need to get a life. Take a trip together somewhere enjoy life and audio.

If you would been more gracious with your initial comments id treat you with more respect but after you call me names and criticize me needlessly calling my post stupid why should i treat both you jerks with respect? Why did you even bother replying.

 You Give respect get respect. Comprende companeros?
