Sorry to go a little off topic here, in a relative way, but before I push the -- button on yet another post, I figure I'd just point out why. Call me bitter, but I'm just trying to give constructive criticism. I have high hopes for people, you know.

Points off for giving out incorrect information, though as shotgunefx points out, this could be unintentional.

Points off for making a remark that is borderline funny, but at the same time, probably confuses the heck out of iceraider, who, had they read this note, would probably be wondering what a "void" is.

This could easily have turned into a ++ if you had: Offered some information that iceraider could actually have acted on; made a remark that added value to the discussion, even in a limited fashion; actually got your logic polarity set properly.

Don't construe this as "personality voting", because I make an effort to be objective when it comes to things like that. My opinion on this post is simply: Thumbs Down.
