Not so. Are you brain damaged? (That would explain a lot....) I said one thing, and then paul c implied that I said something else. Denying what paul c implied that I said does not deny what I originally said. So you're wrong in saying that I'm saying that I didn't say anything. But then again, you're often wrong--even if you won't admit it. I wonder...do you really enjoy making a fool of yourself? Just in case you don't, here's a little bit of wisdom I heard somewhere: it is better to remain silent and let people think you're an idiot than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.
