Why be such an asshole?

Most members of the National Hockey League (the hockey arena where violence is most prevalent) are from Canada.

You\'re offensive. Are you American?

Note only the interesting electronics posts get 2 and 3 replies typically, but the Ass-Fest has 88 and growing.

It's not too difficult to derive what the interests are, and what the expertise is in.

What I needed to know was to use a filter in a newsreader which I'll have to download, and not use google groups, then the conversation will take place among people who don't have such dire need for a better view of themselves.

Hmmm... 100 - 4.5 = 95.5. So much for _my_ math skills...

ESAD, you moron. You are so dense you can't even do a decent post.

Move on to a learner board somewhere.

I repeat myself, but you really need to go away until you grow-up and get much smarter.

Gosh, did someone say something to upset you? I can't tell from reading the post.

But don't come back until you learn to post correctly.

Thanks

Now engineer will probably want to spank you ;^)

"Now that's truly scary. " It's quite sad, really. I think whoever our foul-fingered friend is, he is either tarnishing someone's reputation, or clearly needs a psych consult.

What he\'s _going_ to get is a visit from the Springfield, MA police department for the death threat he left on my answering machine, along with his phone number on my caller ID. Not the sharpest knife in the drawer is that boy.

Given his personality and interest in missile-type matériel, you may have a legitimate concern.

Don't worry about that. Here's a much better advice:

Do a search on posts to s.e.d. with Guy Macon as a filter and find the URL of the group he's running. It's a nice design group where he invits nice peoples and do a nice to moderate the assholes. I think you won't be annoyed there and you'll have good advices there.

Have fun.

Thanks, Fred.

Don't you just love it when people leave threats on your answering machine?

"N" and I were sitting here at my desk, when the phone rang... MAJOR woman's magazine flunkey (a female)... I asked "N" if she were interested, she said no, I relayed the message and hung up.

We left for dinner, flunkey calls back and left a message on the answering machine... using some cuss words that even I didn't recognize ;-)

I called the cops, they came and took the tape.

Chicago cops called the next day saying she would be prosecuted. Magazine called later to assure me that she was fired as well.

But I feel slighted by "engineer" (aka Geoffrey Gallo ).

He only sent me an E-mail saying, "You are a class A f****ng asshole".

To which I replied, "Nope. Class AAA ;-)"

There is a significant difference between a sub-culture (don't mean to pick on my Italian friends but will cite the Mafia as a sub-culture) and a culture. Darwin was mostly on target. All statistical variations get a trial and only those that are viable survive, in the long run.

In other words, we need each other to survive and nice behavior is survival behavior. You don't have to get into religion to understand this. Evil behavior is anti-social and thus anti-survival. Using the Darwin premise, evil is self-extinguishing. One must consider that very long periods of time are required to really see how Darwinism works.

Evil will never go away since it is a statistical phenomenon. A nice family produces a serial killer ... it happens all the time. Organized evil is the same; it will come and go.

Hear Hear!

Even dear old Phil wont go that far.

Yeah, poor Guy has had exactly one Non-Guy-Macon-Started thread this year. To paraphrase Barry Goldwater, moderation in the pursuit of newsposts is no virtue.

I think I've figured out why Guy hasn't been back. He killfiled me because I laughed at him, so I suspect he's killfiled everyone (they all laughed), and s.e.d. now appears blank :)

PS I went and read the waveform generator posts. Wow, what a genious.

I don't much crave chocolate, but my wife and my mother are quite partial to some local chocolateers (Snowflake-w/sugar and Ambrosia-w/o).

I can eat chocolate on occasion, not almonds, on purpose.

It looks like it is. :(
