It was addressed to Michel. I don't get your joke.

Accuracy has nothing to do with an attack. As I interpret the rules, the content in the thread is offensive to, at least, me and that should be enough. If not then I guess I could start a staunch-republican-slam-kerry-edwards thread. If that's ok by the rules, then I have more than enough material to use.

>As time went by discussion got more and more "heated", some proclaiming a definitive need and many (especially the more 'luminous' amongst us) arguing that there was positively no need for such a change because it was all rooted in "proper" programming in the first place. Eventually it died off.
>Yet, lo and behold, VFP 9 delivered the requested change. It wasn't really that either opponents or proponents were right or wrong, but the opinions expressed were indeed often overly 'direct'.
>Now some of us feel that President Bush is a 'puppet' being manipulated (figuratively speaking) by Vice-president Cheney, Secretary of Defense Rumsfeld and his cabal of war mongers, by big business, etc. Does this statement qualify as against UT rules? If so, have I just put this thread into a loop?
