hey wait, al, am i one of those "three main complainers"?
if so, mr. haines, am i one of the two who "don't submit"?
because, technically, i _have_ actually made a submission.
moreover, i don't think i've ever lodged a complaint about
a _f.a.q._, because i'm not sure what the point would be...
and -- you know, i do really hate to be a nitpicker, but --
i think it's important to note that i don't just "complain",
i also offer an _alternative_ that will _solve_the_problem_.
finally, _i_prove_it_works,_right_in_front_of_your_face._
too bad that you'd usually stopped listening much earlier
-- meaning you often miss the fact that proof is given --
because why should you "put up with those complaints"?

p.s. that's what i'm asking! who's on first?
p.p.s. yes!
p.p.p.s. the cyberarchaeologists will have a field day with
this thread. i swear they will laugh for a week and a half!
i mean the _inclusive_ "and" when i say "week and a half".
