We are discussing opinions not facts here so how can you correct a point of view?

No, I see no excuses because there were no excuses.

May I suggest you lose the hostile tone and the superior attitude prevalent in your posts. Whether you are right or wrong, coming over as 'up your own arse' isn't doing you any favours. I hardly think you'd act like this if we were discussing things face to face. It doesn't hurt to be polite.
