I've SWAG'd much longer than the recent round of diatribes about my replies, and in fact, they've even ranted when I gave a SWAG.

I thought once you'd been clearly labelled as a 'wanker' by "the ladies that lunch" you no longer needed to use a disclaimer; in their minds (???) at least, anything you say is at best suspect, and in all probability a part of the great conspiracy to destroy the xBASE community. < BEG >
