BTW, you can trust me that this solution doesn't please me, but as
many times, several people asked Rich _not_ to call names.
If Rich hates me forever for doing this, it's fair, but I _know_ that
Rich is an intelligent person who can behave himself, but won't in
_some_ cases because it's apparently a lot more fun to flame people
than being constructive.

Once again, I'm the mailing list admin, so _I_ will be filtrating
these messages, which will give me more work on my already overcrowded
schedule.
