Hello,  today in the evening and in the night,  several nonsensical posts arrived to this forum.


        I am ready to write a message to the managers of this project,

        asking them to remove the person,  who submit them,  from his  (or her)  position in the project,

        due to his  (or her)  total inability to provide a correct input.


        If I see such posts in the future,  I  DEFINITELY  will do it.
