Not only is that a blatant fiction; but, of your four posts this year, it appears three were direct responses to me.

Works well. You are clearly fibbing Kenny. You Spam this group with your algebra tutorial disasters and when I note their general awfulness (despite my numerous attempts to help you avoid such results), your replies come fast and furious. Or perhaps your killfile is on the fritz?
