   So what? I'm speaking about a program which can be done by a beginner.   
   So in that case the category is meaningless. And, a programmer which is   
   skilled in a category isn't at loss in other categories, he's only less   
   skilled.

   That's a better joke than your previous one.   
      
   There are three things that are too hard for me to swallow:   
   - First, you are using Windows to work and I don't see why you couldn't   
     find a job with Linux to do HPC programming. I mean I never heard of a   
     HPC running Windows in years.   
   - Second, you are trying to make me believe that as you are so highly   
     skilled in programming that you can't do basic programming anymore. It   
     would be like the Field medal explaining he's unable to do simple   
     addition because he's so specialized he forgot the basic skills.   
   - Third, and the best one for the last: you can't do HPC without   
     network. There is no huge processor, being GPU or CPU, able to compete   
     with the processor farms available. If you want to do HPC, you need a   
     lot of processors on multiple servers. And guess what: do you know how   
     they manage to work? With the network. So there is no way one can do   
     HPC programming without basic network knowledge.   
      
   So, now, of course, I don't believe your previous sentence. You just   
   proved me you are programming only in your dreams. That's obvious.   
      
   > I know very little about network programming and I don't want to know.   
      
   :s/don't want to/can't/   
   And it's not about network programming, it's about finding the right   
   library available in any programming language to do the job. It's a   
   beginner's exercise. I'm not surprised to see you can't even manage   
   that. Your only skill is to beg others for help because you can't do   
   what you need to. And even that doesn't work. You are really a failure.   
      
   > Thus, once again, you demonstrate your extreme ignorance in digital matters.   
      
   You now what's the funniest part? It wasn't even a bait to let you prove   
   yourself how a fraud you are.   
      
   >> I tell you again: I won't help you anymore.   
   >   
   > You cannot help.   
      
   Well if I wanted to help, I wouldn't use mutt. But whichever the   
   technical answer to your need is, I'm having fun to see how you are at   
   loss with basic skills.   
      
   > You imply that you know the solution but you do not know anything.   
      
   I'm implying nothing. I'm using mutt every day. Not for batch processes   
   because I don't often need to send mails to a lot of people. I did it a   
   few years ago and despite my daily use of mutt I considered to program a   
   simple script way more fitted to my need. But it's unrelated with the   
   fact that I won't try to find out if it can be done, with mutt or not,   
   for you.   
      
   > You imply that you know only to save yourself from embarrassment.   
      
   Once again, I'm implying nothing. And I don't know about which   
   embarrassment I would need to be saved. If I had any embarrassment, I   
   would only ignore that part.   
      
   > But you know nothing, and you should be honest, both to yourself and   
   > to the world, by admitting that you don't know the solution.   
      
   What solution? Sending mails with mutt? I do it every day, I don't need   
   to prove it to you. Programming a short script to send emails? I did it   
   some years ago because I wanted to have the full fun and it required me   
   to send an email with a crontab because it was the only way to send   
   emails from home when I was at work.   
      
   I have no need to prove to myself what I do everyday and what I did once   
   (well twice because a few years ago I udated a script I wrote a few   
   years before but I don't remember why I needed it the first time). I'm   
   not the one pretending it's possible to do HPC without any network   
   knowledge. I'm not the one pretending I'm so highly skilled that I can't   
   do basic stuff anymore.   
      
   > You only have a big, stupid mouth.   
      
   Always your same insults. Can't you improve a little bit? Are you that   
   limited even in insults?   
      
   > You only CLAIM that you know but you cannot PROVE that you know.   
      
   There is nothing to prove. It's basic skills. You're the only one unable   
   to do basic stuff designed for a beginner.   
      
   > You are a liar and a phony.   
      
   A little bit better, but not that much.
