it wasn't "broken".  you were just doing it wrong.

so i politely told you how to do it right, that is:

and/or

>   make your text bigger

without ever making it explicit you were doing it wrong,
even though the solutions should've been obvious to you.

(perhaps that's why you appear angry?, because the answer
to your allegation of a "problem" was so darned obvious?)

but you _insisted_ on saying "no, it's _broken_", so i had to
become more explicit that, no indeed, jim, that "bug" was
_not_ a "bug", but was indeed a feature waiting to happen.

i have a cinema screen myself.  did you really think that
i hadn't seen the very exact same thing that you saw?

jim, you made _yourself_ look stupid.  and you _persist._

do you not realize what it sounds like when you just repeat
the things you said before that were rejected way back then?

oh, i know full well why few people here give me feedback.

it's because i defeated many of 'em in bloody hand-to-hand.

back when they thought _they_ had the upper-hand, they
were standing in line to post messages to this listserve...

look at the archives!  dozens of messages a day, day after day.
but eventually i defeated each and every one of them, soundly.

and they haven't forgotten it, either...

but hey, i don't mind if they hold a grudge.  because i do too.

and i've proven i have better aim than all of them combined...

jim says i'm wasting his time.  how's _that_ for irony?       :+)

oh well, i guess april fool's day came a bit early for him...
