Two new MicroDrones are born! Yeehaw!

You are so jealous, YeeHAW! You know you should have been awarded MVP status
by the sheer volume of your posts in this newsgroup alone.
LOL
Your problem was most of your posts were off-topic. This is a support
newsgroup for problems specific to the OS installed, not an advocate
newsgroup that welcomes posts consistent with your broad objection to
Microsoft's profit margin as your message content has been noted. From my
biased observation, I seem to sense you are losing and that is a shame,
because you do have some viable arguments. It is a shame you are so
Neanderthal in you tactics you can't see this.

[Will Denny]

Thank you, Jim - sorry for the delay, had to reset everything then change all over to my ISP's news server.

 

[kurttrail]

You are so jealous, YeeHAW!

Of what exactly?

You know you should have been awarded MVP

status by the sheer volume of your posts in this newsgroup alone.
LOL

Would turn it down.

Your problem was most of your posts were off-topic.

Now that's funny!

This is a support
newsgroup for problems specific to the OS installed, not an advocate
newsgroup that welcomes posts consistent with your broad objection to
Microsoft's profit margin as your message content has been noted.

Huh? How is MS's profit margin relevant to this thread?

From my biased observation,

Exactly! ROFL!

I seem to sense you are losing and that
is a shame, because you do have some viable arguments.

Losing what? I'm not here to win anything Mike, unlike you and the rest
of the MicroSycophants.

It is a shame
you are so Neanderthal in you tactics you can't see this.

Ugh!

What you can't see is that I'm not competing at anything. Win, lose, no
matter! What matters is that opinions that are contrary to those of a
convicted predatory monopolist are heard, and in this group dominated
with those motivated to keep or attain MVPhood, my opinions have been
heard.

Just love how you break up posts. LOL What a talent you have to turn any
post you want around to anything other than the original intent of the post.
Examples below.
This is what I said. It was one (1) thought not 2 separate thoughts.

It was answered in the next sentence.

Would turn it down.

I would expect the above answer to the invitation.

Maybe it's just my "biased opinion", but were you not trying to manipulate
what I meant to say by how you broke up the replies?

Then I answered that I would turn it down, Mikey. So again I ask
jealous of what exactly?

: Would turn it down.

Can't you keep track of a conversation over a couple of sentences back
and forth?

I would expect the above answer to the invitation.

So if I would turn it down, which even you would expect, what would I be
jealous about exactly?

Is anyone else having a feeling of deja-vu? LOL!

Your answers

So taking my answers totally out of the context that they were written
is the MS-MVP non-manipulating way of answering posts, Mikey? PSML!

Maybe it's just my "biased opinion", but were you not trying to
manipulate what I meant to say by how you broke up the replies?

But for what effect? Ever hear of humour, Mikey?

I left your comma in to show it was not your complete thought, and I
made a note of laughing at my play on your words. No rational person
would think it was meant to deceive, but would see it as attempt to make
fun of you going off-topic, right after telling me that it's my posts
that aren't relevant to the threads I reply to. I don't blame you for
not seeing this though, as most people are blind to their own hypocrisy
even after it is pointed out to them.

So how is this kvetch by you about how I replied to your post relevant
to where you have dragged this thread? Always about me, instead about
the content of my words. So is this the competition that your "biased
observation" seems to sense that I'm losing? Well I guess I am, cause I
actually answered your post, unlike you, just attacking my posting
style, instead of the content of my words. Yes you win, Mikey. I'll
always lose any competition that is only being played in your twisted
mind.

As bitchy as you seem, you'd think you've been the one suffering from
sciatica all week long, not me. So what's your excuse?

How do you know I am not? Why do you think I wasn't typing this with a big
grin on my face? [I was BTW] The problem with newsgroup posts is they are
hard to convey the state of mind. I just like point out how your posting
style is meant to confuse, not clarify. LOL
Get well.

I never knew that Neanderthals were known for using deceptive tactics.
;-)

My style, or tactics, if you prefer, fits the situation, Mike. I really
can't be characterized monolithically. This is a totally
inconsequential thread, but I still had no intention of being confusing,
and I don't think the average person would have misunderstand how I
meant what I wrote.

Get well.

I finally saw a doctor yesterday. Steroids and painkillers are helping
me to feel more comfortable. Thanks for you well-wishes.

LOL to your complete post, and I really mean LOL. You always have the
intention to confuse or blur, you never make a definitive statement, because
you don't have one. I don't either, but I don't give people advice that
could potentially cause them some very serious legal problems. I give them
an answer that is correct, and one they can decide for themselves how they
should proceed.
Be very careful with the steroids your doctor prescribes, they are very
liberal with their dispensing, but very shallow in explaining the downsides.

because you don't have one.

What BS! Is that definitive enough for you. Would you like me to dig
up where you complained in the past that I write my opinions as facts?
I wish you could make up your mind.

I don't either, but I don't give people
advice that could potentially cause them some very serious legal
problems.

Neither do I. MS would never risk losing in court, because that would
put at risk all their EULA FUD-money.

I give them an answer that is correct, and one they can
decide for themselves how they should proceed.

You tell them they can't do it, while I tell them that MS says they
can't while the law says they can. And I define the words of that law
with MS's own definitions. Then I ask them that until MS gets the balls
to legally prove their FUD, who should be the judge in the privacy of
their own home. I don't think I've ever heard you once mention anything
to anyone that they have a choice.

Shrinkwrap license usage terms on private non-commercial individuals
have never been enforced by any US court ever. That's why the software
lobby tried to make shrinkwrap licenses into legally enforceable
software licenses through UCITA, which is pretty much a dead issue at
the present.

Be very careful with the steroids your doctor prescribes, they are
very liberal with their dispensing, but very shallow in explaining
the downsides.

I'm taking a six day run of Prednisone to bring down the swelling of my
sciatic nerve, and this is only the 3rd time in my 40+ years that I've
taken a short run of steroids.

My father died from prescription steroids, taken to control his asthma &
emphysema, when he was 43. The steroids destroyed his heart over the
decades of daily prescribed use. I also knew about steroids rage as a
child, before most of the medical community, so I don't trust any doctor
to explain anything to me.

But that's just the way I am, a natural-born cynic. I believe in trying
to be an educated consumer, whether it's the medical business, the
software business, or any business that I buy a product or a service
from. I find things out for myself, and don't just rely on what I'm
told by any self-interested merchant.

Glad to see you are hip to the steroid abuse, self administrated and
physician ignorance prescribed.
My mother has a very rare lung disease that was initially treated with
steroids and then determined the steroids were probably the worst treatment
they could have prescribed. The problem with steroids is stopping the use of
them. It is very hard to stop using steroids, once you have started.

As far as your continued abuse of posting, usually a paragraph is a single
thought. Love the way you broke up the paragraph. LOL

Abuse of posting! LOL! Where did you get that from? And a sentence is
only a fraction of a thought then? LOL! Do you ever read what you
write before you hit the Send button? You abuse reason!

Love the way you broke up the paragraph. LOL

I answer where I believe my comments are most appropriate. Glad you
enjoyed it. Gave you another opportunity to try to pick on style in
order to avoid the substance of my words. At least you're consistent!
ROFL!
