@ DEMAB30 - I stand corrected. It isn't the marketers who don't know any better. Its just you? Ever heard the saying "he who knows not and knows not that he knows not is a f..." (fill in the gap!)
For your information, DEMAB30, since I run this place, it is my job to keep the peace. That means even if I can argue with the worst of them, I am required to be mature and keep it civil. I facilitate discussions, that's all. Diplomacy comes with experience, so don't look down on it. Seek to attain it instead because everyone has a right to their opinion. Even if you disagree with them, you can not deprive them of their right to express that opinion. Neither should you shush them because they have a contrary view. You can try to convince them (what you consider oversabi), but if they don't want to change their minds, you have no right to force them.
What did Michael Jackson say? "I'm a lover, not a fighter".
Ha ha!
PS: UK, Germany, Nigeria... A VCD is a VCD. It isn't the disc that makes it a VCD. Its the encoding.
