<sigh>

IMBJR = *plonk* since shortly after his posts on this started to degrade 
to profanity.

If the profanity and intentional "egging-on" don't stop, will he get the 
Bill Treatment?

I don't really care what format he posts his images in, but isn't using 
profane language (at least) against the povray forums rules and 
regulations?
