This was beautiful. The "computer expert" who had no clue about lossy

unsubscribe from a mailing list.
Let's hope he figured it out.
His last post, a few seconds before he attempted to unsubscribe, had,
as a reply to Eric Walker:
But I am tired of this. You may have the last word. I will not be
posting this forum anymore. You may celebrate. You win. Go ahead
and destroy this fine forum with your off-topic posts just to "gab
with friends".
He'd also written in response to me that:
[...] You have succeeded in wearing me down with your useless words.
So, I'll let you have the last word. [...]
Someone who sincerely intends to let someone else "have the last
word" will listen to it, then refrain from responding. "You may have
the last word" uttered while making a speech and then walking out of
the room before anyone can respond is pure hypocrisy. It is far, far
from gracious.
Jojo did not necessarily intend to let us know that he'd actually
unsubscribed. This was, then, a clumsy mistake.
If someone writes, critizing my behavior with Jojo, I'll read it.
I'll respond if requested to do so. If I have a question, I'll ask
it. Otherwise, a critic may have the last word.
