Well I guess that settles that, then.
If Sam said it, it must be so.

You obviously didn't understand the point.

I asked that because "Happy Holidays" is so non-specific, it is about as
bland and wimpy a greeting as one can possibly say. It has become more and
more popular as a result of this politically numb, non-specific,
afraid-to-offend trend, and that was simply my minor statement in response.

This was clearly lost on you.

Ben, please stop telling us about your digital world - those of us
trying to find info about the SE k700i are not interested in your DVD /
AUDIO posts

Amazing. Someone who actually googles to find posts instead of just asking their
question on a newsgroup.

Should I also remove "Software Engineer" and Melbourne and Australia from my
sig? Someone searching for them would also see my post in the search results
simply because I have those words in my sig.
