I dripped several bottles of 1,1,1-trichloroethane onto the
nest before I started. Those hornets can only fly in a straight
line now - straight down.

Stings? What stings? This lot are like a scene from /Shaun of the Dead/.

I notice one accused me of trolling. This ain't trolling, this
is trawling. Good job too, I suspect their ability to bite is
hindered by their false teeth.

Oh, bullshit. From the noun used, one can tell which code is
running to provide the computing service. There is a huge
difference if the monitor is decoding the command and providing
the computing service and the monitor loading in a user mode
program (app to you young things) which then decodes the command
and provides the computing service.

Many thanks, Michael. I a long-term inmate of the madhouse that
calls itself a.l.a., and one might say that I have a bit of
a history of throwing rotten vegetables at many residents of
one of the other newsgroups that JdBP added to the newsgroups
line, now removed; and it was their style I recognised in other
responses, not yours. (Which hopefully explains my comment
about him playing to the crowd.)

Fare ye well,
Phil
