Although not correct in some places, it as a funny web page indeed! In
my experience, people have read that page and either don't care, don't
understand or don't believe what is being presented. And given the
incorectness of some of the statements on that page, who can blame them.
Anyway, this thread is going nowhere fast, so let's close it allright?

Kind regards,
