I will point out that you asked me for a favor, namely a version of my "page
images" with the linebreaks automatically re-introduced (something you keep
claiming year after year is not possible) and then when I provided that to
you, you in turn used that to abuse me, claiming that what I created for
you, at your request, shows lots of bugs in what I submitted to PG, but are
not willing to present the evidence to that effect.

I already did this "cross-versioning" against 76, and I don't see a great
benefit in doing again against BB's version.  But, if someone wants to take
him up on the offer, go for it.

(referee will, of course, promise to be totally impartial.)

 

You are repeating a rhetorical approach which Mitt Romney used "to great
effect" during the debates.

 

I have a simple counter-suggestion: If you want to contribute something
useful to PG or this forum, then please do so.

 

If not, then at least stop calling other people names.
