If this is about statements like that, then I think
we're going to argue
about differences in UK and US usage of English.
Which quickly becomes
pointless..
Your "pointless" point is a good one. You must
remember you're dealing with the "Kingdom of Nice."
Over here, declarative statements are so uncommon
they're rather jarring.
OK, If, as I said, this whole thing developed from a
misunderstanding
then I think it is best if I offer an apology for
making a
statement that
could be interpreted as a flame (though that was not
my
intention), and
that we all go back to discussing classic computers,
repairing and using
them, etc.
Apologies from my end as well. Back to more important
matters.
