Yes sir - anything you say.

Here is an idea - you post this bitching to the chat list as it is not ADSL
technical but then again it is not ADSL related at all so does it belong on
the chat list?

And 100% of what you have posted is off topic too - guess you beat me.

If you say so.

If you say so - I must have missed those - Mark did but then Mark would.
Others posted with comments about the content of what people said and not
about personal attacks on others.

No I don't. I am sorry that you are so confused that you think I believe things
that are so misguided.

You, on the other hand, seem to think that personal comments are somehow
technical ADSL issues. Your argument seems to be "I do not like off topic
posts to a technical list so I will post an off topic one myself".

How about you follow your own advice?

Not at all - the point is that you, yet again, want to display your superior
logic that you used in coming up with what I post was off topic so it
unacceptable to you but your off topic post is acceptable.

Actually, take a look at the academic research on the subject and you will see
that the research supports those claims - but then I would not expect you to
understand that.
