""To wit.... start yer own damn thread and stop fucking with this one.""

I have a question for you Gnu. Have you ever sat down with a few friends and chewed the fat without the conversation veering off into side alleys and dead ends?

Or do you scream and swear at your friends if they dare not to stick to your chosen subject, as you do here?

If you do that, I don't imagine you have many friends left.

LH asked me a direct question, which led off at a tangent and caused a degree of drift in which others got involved.

I'm not about to apologise for giving a courteous reply to a fellow member, with whom, incidentally, I often disagree.

I had, in any case, said all that I had worth saying in direct response to your OP, so I'll bugger off now and you can continue fulminating to yur heart's content.
