I don't want to be involved in this repeat thread. You can be
assured if you reply, you will have the last word.
But for newbys:
Mr. Tapeguy made the same assertions several months ago. He was
challenged to back up his assertions with verifiable sources. He
repeatedly promised he would. He finally said he could not find the
information and anyway was too busy.
Listen to salesmen, but take their information with a grain of salt.
They are looking after their interests, not yours.
