AND HERE YOU GO AGAIN with your way of NEVER BEING ABLE TO UNDERSTAND
WHAT IS WRITTEN, and your STRANGE LOGIC !!!

AND WHERE DID I say the CONTRARY ?????
You should buy NEW GLASSES !

I am saying THAT YOU CANNOT READ A SINGLE LINE without MISUNDERSTANDING
what is written !..
And that you love REINVENTING THE WHEEL !
