Can brain damaged Canadians design electronics?

What an idiotic post.

Doubt it. There may be exceptions but I never met one so far. I tend to ignore those postings as their contribution to designing is nihil.

Don't lump me in with that crackpot and his childish post. I've met some bizarre Americans and I don't assume all of them are idiots.

Its safe to say each country has its own share of crackpots. The US has "Always wrong"

Australia has Phil. Mind you the guy usually has intelligent contributions.He's just not overly nice about it.

We Canada have D from BC.

What's more disturbing is the amount of responses he gets??

Wow, am I a statistical outlier. I'm Canadian, I occasionally design a bit of stuff, and I'm also a Christian. I feel so special. ;)

You'd be surprised how many *are*! ;-) But, then again, maybe I'm biased (*being* "American" :> )

Even a lunatic can tell when the sun is shining. :>

I.e., an observation can be valid or interesting even if the observer "isn't" -- or, may not be capable of following up in a cogent fashion. Have you never learned anything from a "child"? Seen something from a different point of view? Regardless of whether or not that child could further expound upon their initial observation...

The trick is to not get sucked into arguments/discussions from which no further insights may be possible. That doesn't mean that a conversation started can't hope to draw insightful comments from *others*.

E.g., when you post, you aren't "just" talking to the individual to whom your reply is "addressed" but, rather, to others who may be reading over your shoulder. I often reply to posts where I have no expectation of convincing the author of my point of view but, instead, hope others may at least be provoked to *think* about my comments (even if they don't reply to the thread in question).

I.e., actions can be undertaken for their side-effects!

"And I'm feeling MUCH better, now..." ;-) (probably too many cultural ties for that to be as amusing as *I* find it :< )

And England has....where is Graham these days, anyway?

I wasn't. :)

There are a few others on other newsgroups just like 'D'. They start mindless threads just to cause problems, or to show everyone just how stupid they are.

He's in my kill filters, on multiple computers. Some people just can't resist stopping to stare at a car wreck. :(

Sorry to burst your bubble, but you aren't the type I'm talking about! ;-)

"But there was that Jello incident..."

Some episodes of 'Night Court' were on Youtube recently.

SSSSSSSSSSSH!!!!!!

C'mon...Eeyore has an exceptionally well-developed ego, and overshares his romantic side on occasion, but he's at least entertaining.

Curses! Foiled again! Back to the secret volcano lair to think up a better conspiracy, I suppose.

I'm waiting for better weather, to paint the doors to my shop building bright red... :)

Really? I keep thinking I should try to buy the series. That and MWC. Total brain rot!

I also wonder if "Bad Hat Harry" (productions) isn't Harry Anderson's (?) firm...

Sometimes you need just that to relax and clear your mind after a bad day. Either one can do the trick. Have you ever watched 'My name is Earl'?

It could be. If it's trademarked or copyrighted it should say who owns it in the govenment's public records.

Yeah, but it gets pretty lame. And, too "moral" (i.e., having crossed something off his list, ultimately, at the end of each show).

Best of *all* time was SOAP.

Yeah, I just never chased it down.

He apparently was a professional "con-man"/swindler before ending up on TV. Has an amusing little book out re: cons.
