You obviously deserve no respect of mine, calling me an "insecure little boy"
and with your constant insults. If it's such a hassle to the rest of the
list, why are you the only one to complain, hmm? I agree, I shouldn't post
about things I do not know about, but most of my posts have been to the
effect of what I knew to be CORRECT or most likely correct, as you said. I do
know the difference between a PDS and NuBUS slot. However, you honestly
expect me to know EVERY machine that has a NuBUS slot and which don't, and
I'm stupid for NOT knowing it? Like I said, I have a vast array of things I
am good at, and Macs are just one of them. I know quite a bit, but I do not
profess to be an expert by any means. You seem to think I do, though. I may
have made some postings you didn't approve of before, but that doesn't mean I
"behaved badly". The issue before was that William Ahearn was becoming a
conspiracy freak and accusing a contest I created for fun to be "a thinly
desguised promo for another list" even though I specifically noted it was
ONLY FOR THE VINTAGE MACS LIST. This led to Nick and I being banned and named
"frick and frack", all because fanatics on the list like you didn't want
someone besides Pickle to post, or our netiquette wasn't perfect. Well, get
used to it, there's a world outside your little sacred list and not everyone
agrees with you. Funny how I'm being called "immature", while as soon as Nick
was kicked off the list, people started fingering him and posting his email
address and information, and there were comments that people were trying to
find his home address and were going to post it to the list for anyone to
abuse him. Next was the remark about rigging up a IIci to ping his system
incessantly. Over what? misquoting an email? What the hell?
If this is MATURITY, I'll be happy to stay an "insecure little child",
thanks. I've obviously learned much more about being a sensible and friendly
person in my 17 years on this planet than you have, seeing as your first
remarks to me were hostile form the start. I respect Pickle and the others,
but I do not at all agree with your assertment that no one should try to help
others to the best of their abilities EXCEPT PICKLE. I reiterate. Why isn't
this called the Ask Pickle or Get Abused list?
</RANT>.
Thanks for listening.

that it is the wrong answer, but they know mostly enough about the
subject to be somewhere close to the truth.
If people like yourself that don't know the difference between a LC
PDS and a Nubus slot, and don't know which processors the various
machines have (yeah, I remember last weeks mails), continue
bombarding the list with bullshit then that is irritating for the
people who know better and confusing for the people that are waiting
for the right answer.
I don't know why you insist on getting respect. You must be a very
insecure little boy. Respect is something you must earn, it is not
something that is handed out for free. The only things free in this
world are sun, rain and air.
I admit earning respect will be a bit tougher for you than for most
other people on this list, because you have behaved very bad in the
past and people remember stuff like that.
