OT: Babya and A.A. Fussy

[Guest]

I mostly lurk here, but I must say the recent threads concerning Babya
software have been hilariously entertaining. Fussy seems to be the Ed Wood
of programmers -- no talent, but lots of optimism. Based on his (I'm
assuming it's a he) replies, I get the impression English might not be his
native language. In fact, I'm starting to wonder if Earth is even his native
planet. He's like the classic MIBs from UFO mythology -- doesn't quite get
our customs or vernacular, no concept of sarcasm when it's directed his way.
.. .

I finally strolled around to his website out of morbid curiosity. I was
laughing so hard, the tears were rolling down my face. Ever been to a party
thrown by the local misfit and when you got there you realized that YOU were
it. That's kinda what it's like to visit his site. Lots of invitations to
sign on as a member, but based on the empty forums I don't think he has many
takers. Software "reviews", forums, etc on the site are all written by him
as if he were a second person.

In one of the few forums with posts I read:

"I'm Crazy! This stuff is no good

I is sorry for postng all my mesges abut my sofware....I know it no
good....pleeze make fun of me....I expect it...."

It's a post by Fussy to himself. Is this a cry for help? Weird.

Googling on Babya software, it seems that most reviews that appear anywhere
are also written by A.A. himself.

I'm not sure what to make of this guy -- is he a masochist, delusional,
naive. . .? Whatever he is, he's half the reason I come to this n.g. In a
perverse way, he brightens up my day. My problems seem suddenly trivial when
I read about him.

A.A., you might not be much of a programmer or webmaster, but you got heart
kid. . . However remember the maxim:

Winners never quit.
Quitters never win.
But those who never quit and never win are just stupid.

Know when to fold 'em. . .

I'm thinking, because he slips away every now and then, that he is on
temporary pass from that special place where six foot animals are kept.

I hear you--But...

I must confess to being somewhat of a Fussy fan, although I do not use his
software... yet!

Fussy is picked on because he is different and persistent. I admire him
because he is pursuing his dream of being a successful software developer.
Many of us here are not brave enough to even try.

Fussy is always polite, so I think he should be treated politely.

Sure, his constant plugging of his software gets a little irritating, but
adults can overlook such things.

You go Fussy! Keep trying, keep developing, never give up! Listen to your
software users, clean up your GUI's and who knows? You may eventually be a
software gazllionaire.

*YOU* are Fussy???? This is too much, BobAd. If so, this is the best
troll I've seen yet. No shit.

Yea, right. :\

And John, lighten up on the guy. He's trying hard.

Fussy, please stop all the self promotion. It's bad manners. If you create
good software, you won't have to go looking for users. They will find *you.

I looked out of curiosity and still don't know. If I have to change my
screen resolution to read something, I just don't read it. His font must be
a minus 2. I didn't know print came that small.

Looks normal to me. Must be your browser.

Of course you have never pressed ... would never press ... an extra key by
accident when you were typing and not noticed until it was too late -
then had to suffer some dork taking the piss over it.

So tell us - did you used to be conceited before you became perfect? Hold
on ... I take that back ... there was only one perfect person ever walked
the face of the earth, and He did not have your name. So where does that
leave you - a pretender?

But the poor bugger can't walk on water anymore. He's got holes in
His feet.
