What in the world are you talking about? I asked you to stop saying "You
seem to be assuming that ... " because in this thread every time you have
said "You seem to be assuming that X" you come up with an assumption that
has no relation to anything I actually assumed. I said nothing about what I
did assume or if they are correct. So what in the hell are you going on
about?
