> From: Larry Barras [[EMAIL PROTECTED]] [[[Caveat: The business from @a... is so vital to my @i... employer that I have to work consciously to ignore the ISP in such a From address enough to have a normal conversation. I trust you will be working as hard to politely ignore the identity of my ISP as I am working to politely ignore yours.]]] > Slow day in the office, eh? I do still delight in writing code for fun and profit e.g. the Mac Pong demo (together with a screenshot for folk damned to live without a Mac) at: http://members.aol.com/plforth/ofpong/ When my hardware is fast, I don't have time for email. When my hardware is horribly slow, I switch and work elsewhere. But sometimes my hardware runs in the middle, and some of that time I give here. I've also been known to write email rather than watch TV, to work an irregular schedule, to compose email in batches and then send it all in seconds ... all this makes it difficult to use the net to see when I did what. > Had to do a little trolling? ;-) I'm not sure in my own mind whether I helped provoke Curtis to point us all to FDISK /MBR, FIXMBR, FIXBOOT, and op x92 Download Microcode, or not. If yes, well then I did a Good Thing. I am interesting by the process of cooperatively constructing FAQ's e.g. http://www.bswd.com/cornucop.htm http://members.aol.com/plscsi/windows.html http://members.aol.com/plscsi/devices.html http://groups.google.com/groups?q=Pat+LaVarre&scoring=d > trolling? ;-) Perhaps here you mean for us each to favour: http://www.m-w.com/cgi-bin/dictionary "to sing or play in a jovial manner" and "to speak rapidly". I'm ok with that. Me, I have to work consciously to disregard the Usenet definition which I affirm does Not apply to me: http://www.tuxedo.org/~esr/jargon/html/entry/troll.html "designed to attract predictable responses or flames" and "specious arguments, ... or personal attacks".
