Re: A minimally moderated versionof this newsgroup

Steve, you may be an expert in electronics, but you obviously have no clue about product development. Have you never heard of patents. At this point in time, the product needs all the publicity it can get, even in such a medium as this.

Keep checking the technical press, the publicity will be going out very shortly.

And please don't call me stupid, Steve. You don't know me, have no idea of my IQ and probably wouldn't understand the work I'm doing anyway.

Actually, I was expecting a reply such as yours from Jonny boy, but I guess once you've hung around him long enough, the attitude is contagious.

You swine, I was happily enjoying these posts until I clicked on the above link, tried to get back here but it shut down my browser!

How dare you moderate my browser.

Also I am *not* Johnny Fields.

Which is the derived and which is the original meaning? My theory is that it's ultimately an onomatopoeic word. If you can't see that, you're probably not doing it right. ;-)

It sounds a hell of lot better than 'screw'.

So you're going to carry out your threat to *grass* this fellow up to his employers, then? Try to get his livelihood trashed because he doesn't share your views? What make you believe his boss would share your twisted prejudices? I can't believe anyone who claimed to have served in the army would stoop so low. Which army? Which regiment? And you're a CEO now? Which company? Are you posting from Britain? I see you have a GMT timestamp. We don't have CEOs in Britain. Who's the real bluffer? Grasses! Lowest PoS on the planet.

What? With all the dodging and weaving he does, it may mean a promotion into a higher position where those skills can be put to good use. But it is typical of a thoroughly insignificant, unimportant, impotent, unresourceful little fruit like you to appeal to a perceived higher authority to take care of problems you can't deal with. Rochester eh?

Hmmm. It was probably the RealMedia music file that did it. It's about 1.5 mb. Sorry :-(

surprised

So you think it's ok to steal and lie, as long as you do it from your employer? And turning in a bullying, lying dishonest rat isn't condoned in your little book. As long as people like you have the idea that it's worse to act against criminals than to act criminally, then people like fields will get away with their behaviour.

In the army we would have taken fields outside and taught him manners.

Since you seem to have such a firm opinion of "grasses", ("Whispering Grass", for those of you who aren't up on East End criminal vernacular) one can only assume that you have a criminal background.

Grow up, sonny, the real world has consequences for anti-social behaviour. Put yourself in his bosses shoes, how would you like someone to be using company property and company time to do what fields has been doing for years. Not only that, but every time he posts an abusive message, it reflects on the company, whose name appears at the top of every post.

Gosh, I guess you outsmarted me, Jonny.

Ah, a startup CEO spending precious time prowling newsgroups making enemies.

An excellent business strategy.

How does a caller ID intercept a call? Wouldn't you have had to program in a suspect phone number or area code before the fact? If the latter, wouldn't you be risking losing a lot of potential business?

When I used to get port scan attacks, my software firewall would warn me of such and give an I.P. address (forged using high profile domains). Never did I see an attack trace with a name tag. That doesn't necessarily mean it doesn't (or can't) happen I suppose.

Just curious.

I never said any such thing, Grass. Show me where you claim I did.

That's right. I wouldn't turn you in because I, unlike you, don't believe in telling tales out of school. That kind of behaviour's for very young kids who haven't yet had this unfortunate character trait

It's *your* behaviour that stinks, Grass, not his.

Again: which army, which regiment?

Bullshit. Everyone knows that "the opinions of this poster are not necessarily those of this company." It's such common knowledge that this disclaimer's hardly ever seen on postings any more. And there again, that presupposes he's said anything offensive at all. I certainly wouldn't take *your* word for that, Grass.

Perhaps he was going by your recent flurry of retarded troll posts. They say a lot about your characterlessness.
