Hi Charles,
CA> ...linked at my website. ... I have 2045 external links...
MS> All the fuss over "pumping" trafic as if it were for the sake of us
MS> sounds even more pumpous when, in fact, it depends on contributions
MS> from others!!! The inflation over `EZNet' only reminds me...
CA> No 'others' put the man-hours into writing the webpages...
Oh, _your_ man-hours? What about man-months or even man-years?!...
%-b,
Using distortion mirrors again? No others means no links, no links
means insuficient incentive to impose propaganda on a potential visitor!
MS> As for stepping on people... Try make life simpler... You'll never
MS> know it helped but that's what a true contribution is...
CA> Everyone is 'free' to find the links where I've put them.
If you had published one ~URL~ and wrote that the rest is available
from your site that would have sounded more elegant but, again, patterns
emerge and they tell us a different story. It says: visitors *WANTED*!
CA> ...are you totally ignorant?
At least i don't act as if i were totally omnipotent. When i write
about file tranfers over ~TelNet~ i don't need to move this debate to my
~WEB~ site so that i keep tight control over the conclusions. I publish
my results openly and i invite others to try for themselves; the people
who read me can expect to get everything i can provide them so that they
can comment on those findings. I recall that i had to invest quite some
effort before you were made suficiently curious to forget preconceptions
about `Kermit' and became "expert" enough to judge its owners, actually.
%-o
I share what i have thru the ~WEB~ but this is quite different from
what you do, i'm not that selfish i feel justified to call others names;
why should i?! In your case, you damage your own image all by yourself.
B-)
Not everyone needs your expertise desperately, get real Charles!...
;->
CA> Always educational to read your latest rant.
I prefer facts; you pose as a model of what's worst in humanity...
The episode about your `TDsk v2.3' patch is still fresh to my memory so,
while you seem to appreciate it when it's "educational", i'll remind you
of a very peculiar event... When we were having correspondance, i wrote
that i wondered if a way could be found so that the drive-letter of this
~RAMDisk~ would be defined. You bragged about your programmer know-how,
as usual, and were bold enough to try your teeth on it. Only, it turned
out you simply ignored the main reason why i needed the drive-letter and
you made a flag i used before incompatible with the rest of my setup!...
You promised to get back to `TDsk' later then you forgot, i suppose
it was easy to forget: i was without a phone line, my connects were too
rare to allow me to waste them so that i repeat myself endlessly until i
get my message thru, euh... and the fact that this was private ~E-Mail~
must have played a major role in this never-ending story... Finally *I*
was the one who solved it after i played with DOS helper utilities and i
now have `TDsk v2.42b' which fulfills EVERY requirement i had back then.
I'm sorry for you but ignorants beat self-acclaimed gurus at times;
give it a chance and some problems may very well get solved without you!
%-b,
I might as well comment about your ~FOSSIL~/`ZMoDem' terminal which
was derived from THE WORK OF OTHERS and then made PCs reboot afterwards.
I was more a gentleman than you ever been or will ever be so i just
minimized the impact to spare this very disproportionate pride of yours!
8-o
I kept it in the background until you betrayed our friendship, when
you undermined my efforts in bringing SysOps/authors together so that we
finally get a real discussion over DOS ~TelNet~/`ZMoDem' problems; this
was YOUR move and it was solely for the sake of your own prestige. Now,
complain that i don't appreciate the time of programmers if it makes you
feel better but, euh... I'm afraid i don't give a shit how you feel! I
learned what the cost is of believing you or of taking anything from you
and i'm gathering more users after me will find out about just the same!
%-7
Cold objectivity may sound boring but it's a lot more constructive;
try it for a change, not everyone gets scared away like little children!
Salutations,
