Actually, my point was that not You nor Eric are at fault.
And in fact Eric did more (or should I say sooner) than You
to warn people and try to keep them from falling into the
same predicament as he did.

No, You are not at fault.  The Exhalted Monsieur is who
created this clever little monster. =)

So I'm at fault eh? I suppose you're right. My warning message did not
exactly call attention to itself. I'll have to apologize about that as
well. Sorry! :P
