Actually, in this case my response was meant as he read it.  After all this
group is about discussion the POV-Ray source code.  The absolutely minimum
prerequisite should be that a person at least know a tiny little bit about
ray-tracing, which, given he suggested POV-Ray should use his "AGP Xtasy
6564 2D/3D accelerator card", is obviously not the case.  Not to mention
that the documentation of POV-Ray, section 9.4, as well as Warps website
linked to the the faq group already explains this important point.  A
section titled "Rendering speed" should be easy to find for everybody who
looks for information: <http://www.povray.org/documentation/view/327/>.

Apart from this, the person did not bother to read any previous messages in
this group either but started a completely redundant 75+ message long
discussion about topics already discussed to death in this group.  Not
really a good introduction when being new in a newsgroup IMHO.
