You "pop in" constantly, Renia, and betray your obvious intelligence (form
that you do NOT share with Hines) _most_ of the time with worthless
trifling.

Indeed. Try checking the archive for the number of chevrons that appear in
your posts - all but endless persiflage with others who clearly have not
enough real life to fill their days, hardly ever on topic, rarely with a
glimmer of wit amongst the lot of you, and with Hines often in centre ring
of the nonsensical circus.

If you want to think this is only my opinion, Renia, why not test it by
asking the group?
