My comments were certainly crude, and for that I certainly apologise. 
I felt, in light of the ongoing abuse of this forum by not-David-Cosenza, 
that blunt words would present less fuel for his nonsense than words chosen
with more care.

Unfortunately, I rather doubt this. Your only vocal critic, not-David-
Cosenza, appears to be irrational, and no amount of reason can be sufficient
to deal with someone who has no reason.
