Peter,

It seems to me that your not trying to percieve anything. However it is
quite clear that you enjoy responding to these posts because it does
something for your ego.

Your by no means required to respond to any post. If you find the post
is beneath your intellectual level it would probably be best for you as
well as others if you just kept your responses to yourself.
