I removed the posts because I deemed them off-topic. Not because r3p asked me to. He did warn me that there were a lot of useless posts in this thread, though.

And, indeed, if you have nothing on-topic to say (on-topic does not include discussing the deleted posts), please let this thread "die in peace" (which means slowly letting it sink to the bottom of the thread list).

Edit: If you really wish to continue this, try PM's.
