   Hi Carlos,   
      
   As a respectful aside, I thank you (and Lawrence) for all the effort you   
   put in for the team to prove the CF HTML Fragment issues on your X11 box.   
      
   With all these threads about trolling on this newsgroup, it's important for   
   me to point out that Alan Baker's "mock surprise" was similar to Frank   
   Slootweg's "mock surprise", which is a classic trolling technique.   
      
   It's especially important to point out Alan Baker's incessant trolling   
   becuase not only has Alan Baker never in his entire life ever even owned an   
   Android phone, but I consider "Chris Green" a troll and one of the reasons   
   (since I use Occam's Razor so it's never based on only one datum) is that   
   he instantly amplified Alan Baker's trolls, which only trolls do.   
      
   If you call "me" a troll, you must first take in the datapoint that I never   
   respond to Alan Baker or Joeorg Lorenz, which, had I wanted to be a troll,   
   I could easily have done so.   
      
   Hence, IMHO, my response was NOT a troll.   
      
   It was an attempt to get people to NOT respond to Alan Baker's trolls   
   (and, to some extent, to Chris Green's trolls).

   Again, you never use Occam's Razor, Carlos. Just one datum that *you* can't   
   find it doesn't mean it's not there.   
      
   Since my brain is wired like a scientist and engineering brain, I take in   
   more than a single datum, and in addition, I agree with any logically   
   sensible statement, so I already agreed with Andy Burns that it's getting   
   harder over time to search Usenet for specific keywords.   
      
   But you are basing your firm conclusion on only one datum.   
   Mine is based on all the known datapoints.   
      
   Big difference in accuracy when the main point isn't any one given Tutorial   
   or PSA of mine but the fact that Chris Green is a troll, in my opinion, so   
   I'm not going to waste my valuable time looking up specifics for his   
   specific phone, launcher and Android version for him, but, to be always a   
   value-added team player, I provided a general-purpose solution for all.

   I'd appreciate it if you'd ease up on the habit of drawing black-and-white   
   firm conclusions from a single datapoint. When I suggested one example,   
   such as using a wallpaper app, I'm not claiming it's the only mechanism   
   available, just that it's the most uniform or reliable one I've found.   
      
   You need to think more like scientists and engineers do.   
      
   Occam's Razor is about taking *all* known datapoints before arriving at a   
   simple conclusion; it doesn't mean take 1 datum to arrive at a simple   
   conclusion.   
      
   >> If Chris Green had run a search before trolling us, he'd have known that.

   Well, there are troll threads where, hilariously, only the trolls are   
   responding to, which I find enlightening, since I take in all datapoints.   
      
   I mean you have to see the humor in Joerg Lorenz calling someone a troll.

   Again and again, you draw firm conclusions from no data, which is not how   
   my brain is wired, so I simply ask you to just run a search before you make   
   a statement based on zero data.   
      
     *How your phone can be tracked by your wallpaper*   
       
   --   
   Occam's razor says the simplest explanation is usually the best one as long   
   as it accounts for *all the known facts*. It doesn't mean "pick only one   
   explanation that fits only one detail & then proceed to ignore the rest".
