You apparently missed the point of post #6873. Keep exemplifying the ignorant teens in this thread by persistently typing posts riddled with basic spelling, grammar, and punctuation errors. Keep making assertions not supported by facts. It makes you look like an illiterate fool and like some of the kids you're trying to defend. It's quite entertaining.
Don't expect to be taken seriously if you insist on typing like an 8 year old child who writes with a crayon.

You really are staring to fit in nicely with the children, though.
We now have not one, but two of your assertions backed up only by "your own observaions" that have been proven to be wrong with provided facts.
How did you handle that? You resort to crying about us expecting better grammar. Typical
