Alleged fastest numbers and poor comments...

Dan,
   If one is appointing oneself as the 'truth police', then perhaps one ought 
to demonstrate why one should recieve the job?  

  You have unloaded on me a few times, and some of those times I have deserved 
it.  Howeverto be blunt, your approach sucks.  You may be bright, you might be 
certified (or certifiable, dunno  :-)), but I, nor the other folks on here 
deserve the tone that you often sling.  You told me in a private email that 
you don't have time to reply to every comment that I may throw out on your 
comments.  That is fine, however, if the comment is worth making, then it is 
worth explaining.  That is why we are all here, to learn or to educate.  The 
comment you offered below seems to indicate that you have less of a desire to 
educate, than to correct.  I apologize if my tone here is piss-poor as well, 
but I felt I had to say it...

Rant mode disabled...
