For the record and for the last time: I did NOT remove Olin as a result of
Mr. Engineering Info's response. I removed Olin because he said the guy was
stupid. Or that his comment was stupid. And that was the straw the broke the
camels back. Olin had been warned again and again.

Having said that, you're probably right...
... It is really hard to tell someone they are stupid without offending
them.

So let's just not do that ok?
