I have to wonder why some people seem to think that someone posting about ATM subjects is a free target for insults.
So, what do you suggest be done when someone is covering often repeated ground that has been answered already? I think Nereid is showing frustration dealing with this type of thing. I've run into this type of issue myself on a number of occasions with various posters, where a subject has been covered, an argument shown to be flawed, and yet the same poster makes the same argument a day, a week, or a month later as if the previous discussion never took place.
