Perhaps you are right, Lighter, and his 'rhetorical question' was not intended to be snide. He did start with a snipe about it being 'off topic' though, even though someone had already brought the question up in an earlier post.

The trouble with posts is that they can often be taken in two ways - for example, Gibb Sahib could be referring to my post as being off-topic, or possibly that he was going to make a comment that was off-topic!

Perhaps I yelled before I was bitten - in which case, I apologise: if I was bitten, my comments stand!
