I meant we have quite a lot of threads like that in the archive here, i.e. flamewars involving Milos. Maybe "surprise" is a keyword for you, but the statement has nothing to do with you at all.

Although it might have appeared obvious that I referred to the name of my old engine, I didn't have that in mind. I just thought you wanted to point to some other surprising event "somewhere in the air", e.g. a photo of an Ippolit programmer or the like ...

I am conscious usually for about 18 hours a day so a little more sleep would be nice. Thanks for asking Hetman.
