Oh, yeah, aha. I see how that could be a problem. What I say is true! Well we can't
be having any of that!

In the 1980's Hewlett Packard put out their new Reduced Instruction Set Computer
(RISC) architecture computers. One instruction that was removed was the halt
instruction. Instead of halting, when a system failure occurs the machine starts
running a microcode routine called "enter_tight_loop" which gives the appearance of
the machine being stopped. Now if an HP RISC computer encounters a critical problem
and the customer calls in and says "My new computer stopped working" saying "Ah well
techinically you computer is still running! It's currently executing
'enter_tight_loop'!" isn't much help. As far as the customer is concerned it stopped.

Similarly when somebody starves themselves almost to death, as far as I am concerned
that's an easting problem. Now rather this problem was brought on by anxiety
disorder, depression, post-traumatic-stress-syndrone or just plain stupidity is
pretty much totally irrelevent to me. Let the experts handle that.

No I'm just defending myself from attacks such as yours.

Ah huh, yeah, right, I see. Look in the mirror sometimes too!
