Are you a >car salesman or something? I spent a good 10 minutes laughing after reading your poor attempt at an insult here John. You've been completely abusive to the point of sillyness a couple of times here. Now you completely lose it and start screaming and frothing at the mouth....And you think people are gonna have bad impressions of Linus? Next to this he looks like the 2nd coming. I honestly think no matter what the case may be on this stupid argument, you've probably lost any shadow of respect anyone might possibly have had for listening to you now. Give it a rest, you're not exactly becoming this years nominee for Mr. Congeniality by frothing like this. James
