   That isn't what I wrote. My lacking any concern for something you did   
   doesn't mean that I'm not a caring person. In your case, I means I don't   
   much care for trolls or trolling. Which is what you're doing in this thread.   
      
   > But you are working on a project similar to mine:   
      
   I'm not working on anything. I already finished them. I have a CLI and GUI   
   version of the same tool basically which allows me to pull full posts with   
   ease whenever I like.   
      
   > Yours is CLI where mine is GUI. Excellent.   
      
   Incorrect, bud. I have both. I posted two scripts. One does CLI the other GUI   
   (it's a right click job)

   If you could read for context accurately you'd notice how off the mark your   
   response is above...

   Actually, I've published a script for CLI usage and one for right click   
   integration into Thunar. So, I have both options. I agree, there's nothing   
   wrong with having multiple ways in which to get something done.   
      
   The right click script I shared is also very easy to use and simple to add   
   to the system if you want to add the functionality. Simply c/p between the   
   cut marks. Save it into an empty text file, use the name provided in the   
   instructions and follow the rest of them.

   Stop projecting your nonsensical bullshit onto me, Snit. I'm not the one who   
   responded and tried to compare your script to anything I posted. I have CLI   
   and GUI functionality for pulling MIDs as I desire now.   
      
   I didn't hijack any of your threads and plug either of the scripts I shared.   
   That's what you went and did with me though. Instead of creating a new   
   thread and advertising your slop there. No worries though, you've never   
   demonstrated any understanding of usenet etiquette.   
      
   If you happen to be using a server that requires authentication, adding two   
   lines becomes necessary:   
   These two lines   
      
      
   echo "AUTHINFO USER your_username"   
   echo "AUTHINFO PASS your_password"   
      
   must be added above this section of code   
      
   echo "ARTICLE $MID"   
     sleep 1   
     echo "QUIT"   
      
   And now it can support authentication. It shouldn't be any trouble for   
   someone to take said information and make the appropriate additions to the   
   CLI script if they need to do so.

   The instructions to create and use the ones I've posted are straight forward.   
   I'd be very surprised to learn that David was unable to follow them if he   
   wanted to add the functionality they offer. With the ones I shared,   
   Permissions are only necessary to give one time and that's permission to   
   treat it as an executable.   
      
   > Awesome. Great work.   
      
   Get off your knees. I'm not Joel and I'm not into that.

   It's a text file and a modification to a configuration file. Nothing is   
   actually being installed. There's no need for any videos in this case. That   
   would be a gross waste of megabytes for nothing.   
      
   I really don't care why/how/who you made yours for, Snit. This isn't a   
   competition from my POV. I decided I wanted a couple of easy ways to pull   
   MIDs and now I have them. They worked out very well for my needs so I   
   thought I'd share them with others who might also benefit. It's as simple as   
   that. I'm finished with this conversation as far as you're concerned.
