basically you're making the assertion that (1) i just made all of this sh*t
up, (2) i'm basically a liar, and (3) i must be making these claims because i
think this discussion is "fun". rather than providing funny little lists, why
dont you come straight out and call someone a filthy liar. frankly, you can
kiss my ass.

i attempted to provide real world experience with the information i'm allowed,
and apparently that wasnt "good enough" for you, how convenient for your
little crusade to control the usage of others.
