So you're just going to continue to say you have a different idea, but
you're not going to show us, and you're going to represent reviewers as
saying you're completely right, again, without showing us.
I had hoped you'd be different this time around, Walter, but I guess the
leopard doesn't change his spots, and you're still peddling the same
silliness.
Mark me down in your survey as "uninterested in Walter's claptrap".
