Norm, does owners of websites have copyright protections?

Thank you for the heads-up, but I have absolutely no intention of going there or of reading any of the posts. My attitude forever has been to totally ignore these mentally ill people. As Norm mentions, Ion has been around forever. I did the same thing for years with the Fight Club -- never read a single post by any of those mental hernias with the IQ of an earthworm.

I have learned, in my life, that if I am criticized by people whom I admire and respect, I take the words to heart, because I value the various individuals' opinions. All the others can go fuck themselves.

One of (of many) things I admire about you is how (like me) you practice the delicate art of subtlety. I know you are also a fan of my typing ability, but I need not digress.

My bucket list includes Schlesinger losing a math argument with me, and of course, me giving you the “needle” when your grammatical and/or spelling is sub par. That aside, a good scrap now and then cleanses the system, and sometimes one needs to take a stand.

Your contributions cannot be overstated.

Every once in a while, you have to take the gloves off and tell it as it is.

You did a good job with this one!

Not likely, but never say never!

Even less likely. (Typos are excluded; my typing leaves much to be desired.) Spelling? N-E-V-E-R!! As in NEVER! :-)

Happy to do that with rational people with whom one can have a meaningful dialog. Ion isn't one such individual. It isn't possible to have a rational conversation with an irrational person, so, by definition, it's a monumental waste of time. I wouldn't engage my sneaker in conversation. Ion is on a par with my footwear.

Your contributions cannot be overstated.

Very kind of you. Thank you.
