Wrong, idiot. Please take a remedial course in argumentation and logic and figure out the difference between a necessary and a sufficient condition. You seem not to be the only one who might need to understand this point around here, but it is still tremendously annoying when some snotty bastard who fails to grasp that difference tries to make a fool out of others because of _his_ lack of understanding. /// -- In a fight against something, the fight has value, victory has none.
