Like what?

this list or the nautilus list or other?

Your post was really very unhelpful and on top of that barely readable
because of whatever HTML email and quoting you were using

If the arguements it were so good surely at least one of them would
have been memorably enough that you could have mentioned it?

I wait for your response, I hope you can provide with a little more
information to increase my chances of actually being able to find the
arguements you speak of.
