I said you can't compare 2 drivers whose functionally is different.  My 27
gear mountain bike has more points of failure than my wife's single speed
bicycle.  Even though they are both bicycles it is folly to compare them.

You said my words mean "nobody's" using the "nv" driver.  I didn't say that.
 You also use the word "implied".  What you think I "implied" is an
invention of your mind.

Maybe you should use your own ability to divine what is being implied?  Of
course I know what "Quake" is...I'm implying that I don't play games.  And
you seem to be implying that I have an opinion on what folks think they need
to run Quake.  I don't see any point in your bringing up something out of
the blue that is irrelevant.

You are still putting words in my mouth and I asked you not to do that.  So,
please stop.
