As such they are interesting, but in order to identify the origin one should look at the sum of features, as I said before. </p><p><br /></p><p>I posted this as an explanation for Hamburger.</p><p>So please, ritzy, no more games, and as I asked before, no more replies to my posts or trying to engage me in conversation. You have already made your opinion of me very clear, no need for more.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
