The word "silly" hurts me a little bit,

That's good, that's very good. As I recall, I recently mentioned my strong conviction that a successful learning process requires PAIN. So you're definitely on a good way.

...because it comes from a genius, one of the very few members of the "bloat without the power" fraction who is actually able to produce useful output

Well ...  :icon_mrgreen:

Merry Christmas to you, too, Japheth.:

I've converted to Islam recently - because it's always good to be with the winner.

Yes, like the shark, crocodile and a number of others, get it right the first time and you don't have to adapt.  :P

Personally I feel islam and christianity are both way over rated, atheism is the only real path to salvation.
