Problem is, Tony, is that it's your word against ours. All you're
trying to do is convince us (one way or another) of your <kill tobacco
giants> meme, by telling us that we've been programmed by the same
people. I don't believe I have, and nothing you can say will introduce
an element of doubt into my head, so stop trying.
