I don't know why you say all of us think that Mike T is an idiot!

Who are you are referring to with 'all of us'?

Obviously the people that don't know him and have no idea of what he is about.

I won't deign to speak for anyone else, but I think YOU are the idiot. Worse than. If you had a brain that was capable of more than the mere basics I would be concerned.

For all of your efforts in trying to sabotage a forum which has been the saving grace of many - you appear to be the vitriolic, scorned women that give the rest of us a bad name.

Get a life.
