In all fairness, Matthew did present evidence to support his claim. For all we can tell from the above, Steve, you're merely asserting that you enjoy unparalled stupidity, and may very well possess enough intelligence to try reaping the benefits of others' boneheaded mistakes through slick but empty rhetoric.
