Just giving you all the rope you needed to to hang yourself with 
ignorant assertions.  It's not my job to keep you from making unfounded 
assertions by feeding you every fact about a situation, it's your job 
to not make unfounded assertions when you don't have all of the facts 
... and to know when you don't have enough facts about a situation to 
make assertions about it.

I didn't need to say recently.  I merely said that I could rule out 
that students caused it.  I don't need to provide an encyclopedia of 
justifications for a mailing list discussion (as opposed to a formal 
paper or court case, or something).  Though, if you had requested 
support for it, instead of insulting the myself and the claim, perhaps 
I would have done that instead of allowing you to make an ass of 
yourself.

However, I agree that this sub-thread has become a waste of time.
