I don't get the point. What's the connection between MM's poor documentation

and "low-talented" Branden?

What merchants?

What has a registration symbol to do with writings?

William, as said before, shut the f*** up! Go, unsubscribe! Not a great loss

Sorry to continue this stupid thread, but I just couldn't close my mouth.

Making "funny" jokes about other peoples typos, complaining about the work

provided by other people on the list for *free* and then this stupid

personal attacks... just *had* to reply.
