Near as I can tell, you haven't even been posting to rfc for a year.
Around here, if you got less than 10 yrs under your belt, yer a
newbie. Hell! ...I'M a newbie (10 yrs in Nov).

Big difference between not posting, and not reading. I was not much of a
contributer for many years as I had no time. I went from military, to
sys admin internationally, to system engineer, etc, to father of two
boys, and working way too many hours, and having projects that were
international in scope... tons of travel, weird hour conference calls,
7/24 on call problem resolution facilitator, etc..

I can google a Usenet posting from me from 1996 if that makes a
difference to you.

My first PC was a radio shack PC1 (8k of memory with no hard drive) in
1979. 286's I don't believe were available yet although I didn't
research that... not worth the trouble. First system I worked on? A
Philco Ford processor the size of a double refrigerator. The next? A PDP
11/34. So yes, I go a ways back.

So your near, is a ways off. Not that should matter except for those
wanting to pull seniority :-) And in that case, it is likely you are
older than me, so that's okay. I was raised to respect my elders.

Regards,

Bob

I doubt that. Cyber is a rather smart person. I would be more inclined
to believe she lets all the little Indians back out from the KF like I
do (except for a couple) to see if they are now on meds, or have done
their 12 step, etc, once in a while. If they haven't, then back they go.

That's why I was aware of Shelger's worthless poke(s) at me today. What
he does not realize, is I hold him in the same regard as a slug. Must be
useful somewhere, just not *here*, and certainly not to me. So back into
the KF he went. He does not make me angry. The same reason why I don't
get angry at a kid with ADD. It's not their fault they are that way.
There just *has* to be some sort of organic reason why they act they way
they do.

Anyways, hope you have a nice Sunday,

Bob

Oh FFS! You haven't been here since Usenet's inception so **** off

Every day in every way. I sure hope to meet you some day but knowing Usenet

Rather than gainsaying Bob's opinion and following with an ad hominem, I'll
take a different tack, in the hope that Bob can reach some insight into how
he came to that opinion which seems so far divorced from reality. If people
work things out on their own, they usually learn more effectively.

So, Bob, can you point to any post by cyber**** which made you think it was
smart? I can't say I've ever seen such a thing from cyber****. Maybe we
have wildly diverging ideas about what the word "smart" means, but I'm
curious as to whether you formed your opinion based on something cyber****
wrote, or whether it's just your normal habit to assume people are smart.

Are you certain Shelbrookger is not your real name?

Here you are changing your "reply-to" again when you pointed out I
should KF you... which is it? You want attention? Or would you, like me,
prefer I ignore you?

Do you want a rise (you're not going to get it)? Or do you want respect
and left in a KF? Well, I digress, you won't get respect in either case.

You certainly are not going to get any respect....

Have you seen your doctor about your random outbursts of looking for
attention?

And yes, this is the 3rd version of you I put in my KF since yesterday
morning...

It was maybe 1.5 ~ 2 years later when I got my first 286.. cost me $1800

Such an interesting use of words... have you considered writing for a
science fiction magazine for a few extra dollars a year? Better yet, a

lolz... I'm guessing if they can sell toast with a stain that looks like
Jesus, you are right, and could still get a few dollars for a PC1.
Especially if you charge double digits for shipping it's ~2lbs of now

So you *can't* point out anything "smart" that cyber**** ever wrote. I
didn't think so. Now you feel embarrassed by having the logical disconnect
in your Pollyanna attitude spotlighted, so you've decided to attack me, even
though I was perfectly civil to you in what I wrote above.

I think it's a bit stupid of you to use the phrase "your wife left," don't
you? I mean, given the fact that your wife really DID leave you, and you
have been moping about for the last year or more because of it. Loneliness
makes you do some irrational things, doesn't it?

I'm just going to assume that cyber**** reminds you of your wife, so you
unconsciously (and fallaciously, of course) overlay your wife's attributes
onto your impression of cyber****. I have no idea what your wife was like,
but unless she is a crack-addicted rabid bitch who gives rimjobs to
strangers in exchange for cigarettes, she's probably not really very much
like cyber****.

Bobbie, Bobbie, Bobbie...

"Too stupid" appears to have been too kind. Here. Let me spoon feed you the
easiest way to filtering.

If you see something posted by me, DON'T CLICK ON IT. Simply pass it on by,
unread, unopened. DO NOT click on the reply button.

There. See how easy that was?
