Gentlemen, can we please try and have some decorum here? Shouting and
swearing at each other isn't going to achieve anything but ensure the
other guy keeps his temper hot as well. Please, let's all just take it
easy and it will all go much more smoothly.

Please try and remember the advice your mother probably gave you when you
were small about keeping one's mouth shut unless happy smiley things are
issuing forth from it.

Thanks,
Kris
