Hoi,

I don't find his postings to be tiresome. I actually find your  
criticism of people who try to help the foundation in ways that you  
don't agree with, and your obliviousness to fair points made on this  
list that don't further your interests, to be far more tiresome than  
Thomas Dalton's points.

With all that out of the way, playing "I'm rubber your glue" and "I'm  
not a doodyhead, YOU'RE a doodyhead" isn't what this list is for.   
(And yes, I fully understand that this post fits into that category).  
Lets get back on subject, k?
