What I advocate is to drop the whole issue. The sins of the past are past. I say dry up and let the other guy do his thing.

You may not like it, but it's really no big deal. Don't people have REAL problems anymore?

You betcha, but things like this are designed to get their minds off the real problems and instead spend (waste) time throwing brickbats.
