Thanks for that eye-opener. I read the comment and just believed it, would have closed the tab with no further interest if you hadn't been on the ball and replied within minutes, in time for it to be there when I opened this comments page.

I've noticed previously in life that if I don't correct an allegation, people will just assume the to-me-obvious-falsehood is true by my silent assent. I didn't know that I, too, fall for this stuff despite being aware of the problem.
