Look I know this doesn't concern me. But I already Sence a flamefest. Maybe just close it since the Meaning of the topic has already been fulfilled.

People - it's all over!

Chuck made a post.
Titan deleted it.
Chuck complained.
We all were making guesses.
Titan explained.
Chuck and Titan exchanged a few words - on a very high cultural level (which was a pleasent surprise).
The thing could have been forgoten, but new posts coma in (from people who obviously replied without reading the whole thread through).

I suggest this one gets closed (question asked and answered - no further need to keep the topic open).
