Re: F45 question (not for Sybrand Bakker the social misfit)

POL -
[Quoted] This diatribe is totally uncalled for. I suggest you remove this post as [Quoted] quickly as possible. Sybrand is a most helpful contributor to this newsgroup [Quoted] and his input is appreciated.

You, pol, have simply lowered yourself to the level of which you accuse Sybrand.
