So keeping it up to date is more important than actually using it?
I guess if you don't use it then you know vunerable you are, and are
more likely to practice safe hex. Looks like you may have a point!

You could save time (if not using it) by not updating it.

And you repeated what I quoted. No assumptions made at all.
Seems you missed the light hearted tone of my post, and resorted to
insults. Shame, because there was also a serious point to it.

Now you restate your point, but note; the wording is subtley different.

There was a light hearted tone in your post?

Oh, I'm terribly sorry. I must have confused it with a smartarse
comment from someone who perhaps should know better, but hey, whatever
floats your boat.

But once again, you clearly have no comprehension of what I actually
said, and yes, you did allude to things that weren't mentioned, but I
guess that's all beside the point (at least according to you).

Afterall, it was just a light hearted post, with a serious point to
it.

Or so you say.

Restate my point? If you actually read my reply, you'd understand
that the above was merely an explanation, in simple terms (just for
you) of what I'd initially said.

But I guess that's well above your head as well.

Oh well, I think you've proved the question I asked in the last post.


Cheers,
Dazz

You sound like John Cleese.

I understood perfectly, you misunderstood me, but nevermind.

Geez, I at least hope that's a compliment, seeing as he's regarded as
one of the best comedians that the UK has ever produced.

Well, let's just agree that it was a misunderstanding.

No hard feelings, and I'll even apologise for some of my comments.

Cheers,

No worries, as they say in your wonderful country (from which I have
recently returned).
