I agree with you 100% and I have very similar reservations for the bias.
Therefore it is funny to read in your next posting that I am on your kill
file. I can only hope that you receive this message anyway. 

I apologize that I could not find the word "mook" in my dictionary, but I
suppose that it is nothing friendly. Would you or other RADSAFErs enlighten
me and excuse my limited knowledge of English? 

Best wishes,

Franz
