Thanks...you're right. This thread is pretty much for the benefit of one person, to show how out of touch he and his attack pages are with reality, and how no-one but him wants me to leave URC, despite him so desperately wanting the situation to be different (and kidding himself that it is).

I'm sure that he'll now update his website to reflect the truth, just like he always does when someone corrects an error on it. (And by "always", I do of course mean "never".)
