Let's not start a philosophical discussion on what "reality" is.

I had thought that we already agrred that you will keep your "correct" version
of CVS (and name it NCVS) and we would keep our "incorrect" version.

I don't think anything I have posted can be described as a rampage.  Can you
provide examples?  Also, I dropped this thread until you brought it back again.
