Who says?  Isn't that a bit arrogant?  You are demanding to have the
last word and saying that anyone who disagrees with you has to shut up.

Well ***I'm*** sorry, but I disagree with you.  The subject line *was*
braindead and begged that the inquiry be ignored.  The OP should learn
to use informative subject lines when emailing a list such as this.  If
Reinhard hadn't brusquely informed him of this, how would he learn?  A
bit of vitriol focuses the attention wondrously.
