then it is not an exact copy, and therefore a bug.

Or just turn on the "skulduggery" switch (Prefs: date and time)

Yup. And by applying my powers of intelligence and deduction, coupled
with my many years experience of people and the things they do, I am in
a position to draw the conclusions I have stated.

Erm, nope, none of that.

I read, smelt what the bugger was up to, and said nothing at all until
someone else had made remarks which indicated that he's smelt what I'd
smelt. And then I made mild comment, which made you decide to leap in
to cause an argument because you're a nasty little troll.

You're all worthless scum - worthless, that is, until you've been
composted down and used to grow something worthwhile like cattle feed.

> All this on no evidence whatsoever.

Obviously you are so stupid you do not understand anything about people
or you would not be making such ridiculous and irrelevant points. Any
fule kno I speaketh the truth about the OP, for reasons which are far
too obvious to mention here. Any any fule kno I did not say what you
claim - after all, you're a troll, so almost all your claims are lies.

Of course, being a good troll, you will pay no attention to any of this,
but I thought I might as well point out the utter logical and moral
worthlessness of your position.

Ah, another troll making lunatic and baseless assertions. Utter
nonsense, these claims of yours, and nothing but your own malicious
invention.

We all know you trolls are liars and fantasists.

I'm typing this purely for my own entertainment, btw.

That does indeed appear to be how you operate.

Only a fool like you would try to elevate persistence in error, wild
speculation, and unjustified and rash conclusions, into logical principles.

You are a fool, and since you are clearly irrevocably and incorrigibly
committed to remaining one, it is pointless to do anything other than
occasionally draw others' attention to your stupidity lest they be misled.

Swat!

That's true either now, or pretty soon.
