There's little sense in sitting down and writing out a long detailed response, providing links or independent evidence, etc, unless the effort will be appreciated. Fortunately, guys like Paddy, Furry, Fred, and a very small handful of others have shouldered the attacks, including from other members (not you) who make little to no effort to help such people but just <i>love</i> to attack and belittle others for theirs.
