in which case, maybe the dealers should stress this a wee bit more when advertising it. :)

I would agree Dale but on this particular occasion perhaps the clue is in the title?

Anyway - back to things ore magical than a bill switch :lol:

Here, you are on a personal attack about the personality of someone you do not know. Falacious argument number one. Next, a straw man about "some magicians". That's falacious argument number 2. Next, you talk of someone you don't know who "couldn't be bothered" and before you called the same person, who you don't know "lazy". That's # 3. Next, you call the "intervention", "petty!" That's number 4. You claim your post was "removed" - a strong number 5!

So, I guess what you are claiming is that being rude, arrogant, and presenting rapid-fire falacy as fact, is the same as being honest. Can you handle the "honesty", or are you going to hammer out another of your petty, falacious interventions?
