RE: John Fields

Thanks for checking Michael.

You're welcome. Too many people disappear without notice, and some never return. I asked him to post once in a while, just to let us know that he's still around.

This is a public forum. I'd be surprised if anybody else were sill enough to read this juvenile spat, but I'm being polite to potential co-readers.

So far you haven't identified any problem that would prompt anybody to talk to a doctor. Being bad-mouthed by a half-wit isn't exactly a notifiable disorder.

I posted a link to them, and I'd most certainly read them before I claimed that your reference was hopelessly unspecific. I could scarcely have identified your quote as a refrain if hadn't read the lyrics.

For somebody who thinks that quoting a refrain unambiguously points to a particular subsequent line, you display a rather poor grasp of what declarations imply.

Jim-out-of-touch-with-reality-Thompson hasn't noticed that most Ph.D.s work in the field where they got their Ph.D. Mine was in Physical Chemistry, bu t I moved across to electronic engineering within a couple of years. I got the Ph.D. in 1970 and have been a member of the IEEE since 1980 - which mea ns that I'm now a life member. This does seem to qualify as less-than-typic al behaviour.

The most likely outcome after getting a Ph.D. is an academic job in the sam e field. It isn't exactly a majority outcome - there aren't nearly enough a cademic jobs around for that - but moving from chemistry to electronics is a bigger step than most. Physics to electronics is a less dramatic step, bu t Rev.Sci.Instrum. regularly shows evidence that many people can't even man age that.

Frustrating, isn't it?

You place yourself far above the pedestal, when doing so, you only alienate yourself with others.

I bet that neck of yours suffers greatly from the massive malignant tumor, barely balancing on it.

With the only problem with that being that you do not know electronics.

Face it, Billy. You are an idiot, and you prove it every day in here.

What pedestal?

Please explain what you think you are talking about.

You'd lose. The malice is all yours. It's a pity you can't manage coherent malice - we could use a better class of insults. DecadentLinuxUserNumeroUno clearly has ambitions in that direction, but he can't deliver either.

Not really. A spot of cathartic carping cheers me up no end, as you should have noticed.

Perhaps, but I've managed to persuade the patent system and a couple of pee r-reviewed journals that I know enough to get by.

Can you document a similar claim?

The fact that you think that you can make that claim proves that you don't have much of clue. But we've known that for some time. I've been posting un der my own name since 1996. You claim to have been posting for longer, but seem to have found it necessary to adopt a new pseudonym every few years. I really ought to ignore you, but there's a certain limited entertainment to be had from shooting down easy targets.

Neither Jim nor DecadentLinuxUserNumeroUno ever seem to imagine that their potential targets might shoot back - and Jim doesn't seem to realise that his bloated figure offers a relatively large target.

Jim has advertised his civil war plans for shooting his neighbours so often here that they've probably worked out their pre-emptive strike already. He'd be one of the early losers - unlikely to last long enough to get tried for war crimes, condemned for the incompetence of revealing his barbaric plans rather early earlier than anybody with any grasp of elementary tactics would have done.

Don't feed the troll. I posted a simple update about John Fields, and almost 2/3s of this thread is trolling. Only nine replies got through.
