I'm really sorry, I just realized that this can be read in a very 
offensive way: the "you" above was in *no* way directed to Jaroslaw 
Kobus. It was a generic "you" -- as opposed as "I know better", for a 
generic subject "I", not necessarily the writer. I apologize to 
Jaroslaw if this caused a misunderstanding.
