Yeah, come on, Fred; just because he doesn't seem to understand the concept
of a *plural* morpheme and why using the singular to refer to hundreds of an
item might cause confusion (especially in this context) doesn't mean he's
stupid ;-)
I thought that perhaps Swedish does not have such a concept but then I saw
that he does speak of power supplieS and fanS; he even talks about making
the CPU's pin compatible, although instead of multiple pins of multiple CPUs
that seems to suggest making the (single) pin of a single CPU compatible
with something...
Fun with words, and of course as usual surprising and a little disappointing
to see how ready and eager some people are instead to see insults or
personal attacks in simple misunderstandings...

Of course not. I acknowledge and respect your expertise.
And, I certainly had no intention of offending you.
