Look, Buck, you're arguing this entirely mundane point beyond the point of
relevance. Its one thing to beat a dead yak, and its quite another to
continue to beat it with every implement at your disposal until its
carcass is a pile of organic sludge. Not only that but you are foolishly
missing Eric's point (or at least ignoring it) just to prove yours.
