Oh, I have no problem with the OP's (anhnmncb) post at all - he's 
obviously been given wrong information by someone else. He even hints 
in his post that he's not sure if he should take it seriously or not. 
So I'm quite happy to give him the correct facts, but I didn't need to 
as several other people had already done it before me.

I do have a problem with whoever gave him that wrong information. The 
only effective way to handle utter BS at the source is to call it as 
BS. It's rarely nice.
