   I never said I was a programmer, although I took classes in Fortran before   
   there was a Fortran 77, along with COBOL and IBM assembly language, perhaps   
   before you were even born.   
      
   When I was in graduate school, I was building my own Motorola 68701 micro   
   controller boards, and my first few jobs in Massachusetts were on DEC   
   computers before the VAX and SunOS and Solaris 'nix software debuted.   
      
   The software I worked on is classified as a munition - so I worked with   
   Fort Meade and other government agencies - but the main reason I used the   
   words I did was to lump my experience in with that of badgolferman's where   
   he used the terminology I was equating my experience with.   
      
   Remember, people like Alan Browne have a low IQ so we have to dumb down the   
   message for them - but if you want to take a look at my software, there are   
   papers I've published that you might find my writing style in.   
      
   Hell... some of those papers are in a completely different field than   
   software, since I have multiple degrees in vastly different arenas.   
      
   Anyway, the point here is that we have to remember the iKooks aren't only   
   stupid - they're religious fanatics who are stupid.   
      
   Sure, none of the iKooks has an IQ approaching normal (nospam's is probably   
   about 80, and Alan Browne's ten points below that - with the rest like   
   Jolly Roger and Joerg Lorenze and Alan Baker half of what those are).   
      
   Sure, none of the iKooks has any formal education, with Joerg Lorenz and   
   Jolly Roger and Alan Baker never having graduated even what we'd call High   
   School in the USA - Jolly Roger tried three times for the GED & failed -   
   for example.   
      
   Sure, none of the iKooks ever reads the news about Apple so I had to tell   
   them that, for example, Apple only fully supports a single release - which   
   - for years (and years!) they've been claiming that's not the truth.   
      
   And yet it is the truth about Apple.   
      
   What makes these iKooks what they are isn't so much they're ignorant,   
   uneducated and unfortunately of a rather low IQ - no - what makes them   
   iKooks is you combine that stupidity with their Jim Jones' adherence to the   
   Apple religion.   
      
   That's why they're iKooks.   
   --   
   I know the iKooks better than they know themselves as it's all correct.
