You seem to have taken offence at some of the thread content- but that's just chatter in a chatter forum. IMHO the issue is an official opinion that does not need or deserve prominence. IOW I'm not casting aspersions at *anybody* here. I feel very sure that nobody went out of their way to make this happen or to show disrespect.

I hope you are being ironic. For sure it seems like a hapless pastime to hope to influence internet page-hit bots at the expense of personal feelings. Philip K. Dick, fire up your keyboard....
