As I thought.. You are no one special.
Now please, moderate your speech since you actually do not dictate what 
goes or not on this mailing list. Neither having that power would give 
you the right to be offensive and rude.

Also make a point of checking your own answers when replying. Because 
all the show you put ends up in a link to a wiki page that actually 
doesn't answer the initial question.
