I don't know. But it has been said.
Not by me, though.

Which is exactly the same which I have said. :)

But I have no experience with SMP, I searched the web for "sources". And 
explained what I knew "from the past" and what was being reaffirmed from 
what I found on the web about it.

But the two of us do not dissagree a bit on this,
