The case /is/ closed, as far as I'm concerned, anyway.<br>
<br>
I stopped reading Gordon's posts a few issues ago. He's joined Brent
Allsop in the group of people whose posts are not worth even looking
at, because you know they are just repeating the same nonsense over
and over and over, and show no sign of even listening to any cogent
arguments.<br>
<br>
If someone doesn't even try to listen to you, why should you bother
to listen to them?<br>
